Dear Jon,
=20
I tried what I wrote to you yesterday on Cygwin/Windows and it worked  there=
.
Now, I have tried=20
=20
gnuplot -persist g.plt=B4

=20
=20
where g.plt is a file containing just the line=20
=20
plot sin(x)
=20
and this works - without the persist, the plot disappears instantaneously, =20=
as
you mentioned.

Cygwin is a free, open-source attempt to make Unix run on Windows XP  --
I have been using it for several years now along with various Linuxes  --
most of the time things work, sometimes it drives me crazy, but by far  not
as much as Windows does. You can get it here:

_http://www.cygwin.com/_ (http://www.cygwin.com/) .

Of course, Ruby will run on it. But I don't know whether they have  the
newest version available as a binary. I installed Ruby by  downloading the=20
tar-file from
Ruby's website, decompressed it
using=20
=20
gunzip ruby*.zip
tar xvf ruby*tar
cd ruby*
./configure
make
make install
=20
- so just the usual procedure...
=20
Best regards,
