Hello Dave. I got your mail but the MAILER-DAEMON was unable to
retrieve your address.

You write:

> It should exit if you start it with a filename to read, eg
>     gnuplot foobar

That's what I do. Gnuplot is called from the following sh script which
is itself called from an interactive tcsh:

#! /bin/sh

	[stuff deleted]

NP=`cat fractal.dat | wc -l`
NP=`expr $NP '*' 10`

cat > fractal.plot <<EOF
set samples $NP
set nokey
set noxtics
set noytics
set size 0.95,1
plot "fractal.dat" w l 1
pause -1 "Hit return"
EOF

gnuplot fractal.plot
exit 0

It works fine until the pause and then hangs.

I also tried this solution but it doesn't help.
