   Then I tried to run it.  Running gnuplot (non-X11) under X gave
   me a correct plot but the screen failed to redraw itself correctly
   after exiting the plot.  If I "erased" the screen with my xterm,
   the screen became normal again.  Running this same version of
   gnuplot outside of X did not even give me a plot -- all I got was
   a video hash covering the upper third of my screen.

   Then I tried gnuplot_x11 under X.  I believe that this should
   give a plot in a X window of its own.  But, all I got was a
   message, "/lib/libc2.2.2", and then the shell prompt again.
   Anyone else run into problems like these?

you are not supposed to run gnuplot_x11 directly.  it is a helper
program that gnuplot runs to do the X window imaging when you do a
"set term x11" within gnuplot.  if the environment variable DISPLAY is
set when you run gnuplot, it will automatically select the terminal
type x11.
