Ben, thanks for this quick response. The file does exist and specifies
that GNUTERM is 'x11'. When I deleted the file, then logged out/in,
gnuplot stopped plotting. And when I re-introduced the file, gnuplot again
would plot. So you've pointed me to the controlling factor.
Many thanks. The continued head-banging against a wall was beginning to
hurt.
A separate question: How does one remove the restrictions/blindnesses
configured into programs such as the PropertyListEditor, Finder, etc.?
When I followed the instructions in the above URL to set GNUTERM=x11
I found that the PLEditor wouldn't let me save in, nor even see, the
hidden directory '.MacOSX'. I finally managed to do it from Path Finder
by naming the directory 'MacOSX', saving the file there, then renaming
the directory. This strikes me as perverse behavior of the PLEditor.
Is there a way, when need be, to bypass the restrictions configured into
such programs? TIA
- Dushan
