Thanks for supporting me ! I might need your experience some day...

I have almost written my terminal, at least with the mandatory functions=20
to make gnuplot access it. I just implemented those calls and simulate=20
gnuplot action with some menus (_move, _vector, _graphics, etc).

My next step is to make it work *inside* gnuplot, which should not be a=20
big problem, as I have prepared myself to call the wxwidgets library=20
without building a whole application, in the same way as Videolan or=20
Bochs, which both use it as a gui plugin. I have to declare some=20
remaining variables, and pay attention to those 'extern "C" ' magic words=
 !

I will continue and keep sending news to the list.
