Bug report and whishlist

   Hello,

  I am just forwarding a few issues some friends have had with gnuplot
recently :

  First a non intuitive behavior :=20

set term win
plot 'foo' using 1:2
set term post
set output 'result.ps'
replot
(then result.ps is drawn)
set term win
plot 'foo' using 1:2
(then result.ps becomes blanck

   A correct way to do the same thing was found :

set term win
plot 'foo' using 1:2
set term post
set output 'result.ps'
replot
set output 'result2.ps'
set term win
plot 'foo' using 1:2

 That forbids gnuplot to scramble result.ps.

 This is a rather non natural behavior that must trick a quite a few
users.


  Secondly more interactive terminals : I have never used the win
terminal (as I don't have a windows box) but it seems to have nice
features for beginners that could be add to the X11 terminal (and the
new born Glut terminal ?). These menus should of course be controled by
a option for the terminal.

  There is something I don't really understand : the online help (
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs/gnuplot.html#mouse_variables )
suggest that "set pause mouse" should work. But it doesn't. It think the
actual syntax is "pause mouse".
