in octave,

        # gset xxxxx

sends xxxxx as an arg to set on the gnuplot command line, i.e., `set
xxxxx' is sent to gnuplot.  similarly gplot drives plot.  the problem
is that many gnuplot commands do not begin with `set'.  replot is one,
but there a special for that.

how would i tell gnuplot to, e.g., `reset' while in octave?  perhaps
it would be useful to have a `graw' function to directly pass strings
to gnuplot without any prepending of set.
