Unfortunately, in some circumstances the print command fails; in particular
when the multiplot features of gnuplot are in use.

In this case (and in all cases actually), your approach is still sound, it just
needs a little modification.

Replace "set" with "__gnuplot_set__", and you should be good to go.  It used to
be "gset", and you can still use that, but it is deprecated and may disappear
in  future versions of octave.  "__gnuplot_set__" should be around until octave
has an integrated whiz-bang graphics system, and no longer requires sending
gnuplot commands directly from the octave command line.
