I might be wrong, but I thought that mous zooming in gnuplot
was only available in (not yet released) 4.3 version.

The problem with the stock precompiled gnuplot package is that
it does not integrate a patch that I use to generate the version
distributed with octave binary package. This patch allows a real
console mode to gnuplot, which makes it act like on Linux. It
is likely that the stock gnuplot package does not work with octave.

The patch is available on octave-forge SVN repository
(admin/Windows/msvc/libs/).
