Thanks for the comments & help. Unfortunately this also does not help
sovling the problem. gnuplot alove works fine under cygwin, it opens new
windows upon plotting. But I still cannot plot from within octave. I read
also JWE's comments you mentioned but this does not be the problem either.
Is there a way to identify at which step the invocation of gnuplot from
within octave fails?
Thanks
