The png terminal does not act that way, nor should it.
My normal mode of generating and viewing png output is
	set term png
	set output '| display png;-'

Then I can view the output from successive plot commands interactively
by hitting <space> in the display window.  If I want to save a particular
one to disk, then I hit "save" instead.

Maybe. I would like to use eps and gv through a pipe=20
	set output '| gv -'
similarly to the way I use png+display, but unfortunately gv is not
happy with that.  So a compromise would indeed be to continually=20
overwrite the same output file, and view successive images in gv
by hitting the re-read button.  But I don't immediately see how I
would keep the two ends of the process in sync as easily as the
png+display case.
