I didn't have any folders in the download.  Strange, I'll download it 
again and see what I get.  The weird thing with the plot window closing 
is that if I run a  script file with pure gnuplot (not through ruby), 
the window should stay open with the -persist option entered on the 
command line and it doesn't.  I can't get the pause command to work 
either which should hold the window open after the file executes.  I'll 
download the .zip file again and let you know what happens.

I'm not getting a window menu in the plot menu.  Strange.
