Ok, I opened gnuplot through cygwin

$gnuplot
Terminal type set to 'unknown' ... 'unknown' is not a plotting device

I then entered

set terminal

for a list of terminal types.  Windows isn't one of them.  What type of 
terminal should I set?  Can I alter gnuplot.exe so that its default is a 
type compatible with cygwin?
