Follow-up:
On Snow Leopard the above experiment did work in the sense that an AquaTerm window with a
plot appears and gnuplot doesn’t wait for input.
On Mountain Lion it also works.
I'll try updating AquaTerm to 1.1.1 and see if that helps.
Another funny thing: on Mavericks recalling a gnuplot command always
shows \040 for space(s)
Something incompatible in Mavericks in relation to libreadline, maybe?
Does Mavericks have libedit installed?
