octave-2.9.13/gnuplot4.2.0 has no default key, uses blue (=3) as default
color instead of red (=1) and uses a linewidth of about 0.5 instead of 1.0.
Therefore we get light blue instead of red and also no key.

octave:8> plot (x, sin(x)) #where I used x = linspace (0,pi,100)
in octave-2.1.71/gnuplot-4.0 will require the following in
octave-2.9.13/gnuplot4.2.0 to produce about the same plot:

octave-2.9.13:55> plot (x,sin(x),"-1;line 1;","linewidth",1)
