The ability to run octave scripts within SciTE is just a simple trick,
it's not a real integration. What's happening is that SciTE is launching
another octave process to run the script. This process exits when
the script is finished. That's why the plot windows disappear. There's
currently no real octave/GUI integration, but things are going on.

If you want to run a script with plot commands, don't run it from
the SciTE editor.
