Traditional DVI viewers are dedicated, and don't require the ".dvi" suffix.  OK, Okular does require the suffix.  Fixed in CVS. > Also, when I close a 3D Plot window, the little "gnuplot: type q to > quit" window stays open.

I was going to say "No", but that's not entirely true.  It depends on which gnuplot "terminal" type is being used to display the 3d plot interactively on the X window system.  In current gnuplot there are two possibilities, the x11 term and the wxt term (WxWidgets).  Up till now I've been forcing use of the x11 term, since when I last checked wxt was too slow and jerky at rotating the plot.  But I see that's now fixed, so I've enabled wxt. Anyway, the x11 driver needs a controlling terminal, so we can't get rid of that little box, but wxt works fine without. Bottom line: if your gnuplot is sufficiently up to date you won't see that little terminal window again. > Finally, defining a 3D plot, the GUI lets me choose a variable three > times and then gives the error that it is "duplicated" It would be > nice if the error message was more accurate and the variable is erased > from the list once it is chosen for 2 axes. The error message is perfectly accurate (triplication nests duplication) but it's not appropriate.  There's no reason you shouldn't be able to graph a variable against itself in 3 dimensions if you really want to.  Fixed in CVS.
