Odd, I do not recall having had any problems with 'hold' off hand. In any 
case, the Gnuplot command to overlay another plot onto the existing plot(s)
 is "replot"

For example the Gnuplot commands

        plot sin(x)
        replot cos(x)

The above will first plot the sin(x) and then plot cos(x) on the same graph

In octave the same sort of thing is achieved by:

        a = linspace(-10,10, 100);
        b = sin(a);
        c = cos(a);
        plot (a,b)
        hold
        plot (a,c)
