For a quicker way to see your output that's aesthetically disgusting,
create a file "header.ps" with the following contents:
%%
0 0 550 770 Nonretained window
windowdeviceround
Above 0 currentwindow
orderwindow
%%
Then, when you use gnuplot, set your terminal type to some form of
postscript, and set your output file to "|cat header.ps -|pft".  To
erase in the window you get, simply drag another window over it.  It's
a yucky hack, but it gets the job done.
