Only .gnuplotrc or also .gnuplot?

On what kind of system?  What version of gnuplot?  Who built the
gnuplot binary?

Looking at the gnuplot sources (4.0 and the current CVS), it is
possible to define the name of the file to be something else when
building gnuplot, so maybe someone did that when building the version
you are using (but why?).

In any case, the default name on most systems is ".gnuplot".  On
others it is "gnuplot.ini".  But the only place that .gnuplotrc is
mentioned is in this entry in ChangeLog.0:

  1998-07-01  Lars Hecking  <address@hidden>

          [...]

          * acconfig.h, config.hin, configure.in: The correct file name
          is .gnuplot, not .gnuplotrc!
