problem with 'replot'

[Thomas Walter]

Hello,
I'm new to 'octave' but I found a problem with 'gnuplot' and 'octave'
version 2.0.13 (installed as binary package) and V 2.0.13.96 (self
compiled with 'egcs-1.1b on RH-5.1 Linux)

Being at the octave prompt
        oct> replot ("sin(x)")
works fine but
        oct> replot ("sin(x) w l")
gives the error message
        line 0: undefined variable: t

This is because of a wrong syntax sent to 'gnuplot'.
Octave sends
        pl sin (x) w l t "bla"
and the correct syntax (from the gnuplot-3.7 manual) is
        pl sin (x) t "bla" w l

This is:  the title has to come first and then line styles.

Bye
Thomas
