The situation is confused. I further run a script in gretl 1.8.1 CVS
under win 2000,
open djclose
"figure 2.3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series
"figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose djclose(-1)
And I got error messages:
gretl version 1.8.1cvs
Current session: 2009/11/06 02:02
? open djclose
Read datafile C:\Program Files\gretl-1.8.1x\data\misc\djclose.gdt
periodicity: 5, maxobs: 2528,
observations range: 1980/01/02-1989/12/29
Listing 2 variables:
0) const 1) djclose
? "figure 2.3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series
figure 2: no such object
Error executing script: halting
"figure 2.3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines
--time-series
But if I run the command in console as follows
? "figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose
Command has insufficient arguments
And tried:
? "figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose djclose(-1)
figure 2-3 saved
And with further tests, I found it seemed irrelevant to UTF-8 characters
Do you have any suggestions for more tests to clearfy this error?

I tried replicating this on Linux and it worked out (with a
chinese character in the graph name). I'll have to try it on
Windows.
