This looks rather interesting.

The trouble is that the xterm/tek window that I run gnuplot in is not
displaying fonts correctly. As a result I have to type blindly and the
screen is quickly cluttered by overwrites and once in gnuplot I don't
know how I can clear the screen.

Maybe it's just my X resource file that screws up everything.

But let me take a look at the gnuplot doc and see if I can figure out
what's happening.
