I checked the directory you mentioned. Under win 10, gretl 2017d produces an empty
plotx.pdf file, using either octave 4.2.1 or 3.4.3. Again under win 10, gretl 1.9.12 and
1.9.92 produce empty pdf files in documents\gretl directory. So to me the big issue does
not seem to be the directory, but the empty output file. I would like to remind that this
script works under win 7 and older versions of gretl and octave.
Kind regards,

From what you say, it would appear that octave fails to close the file
on
exit on Win 10, but manages to do so somehow on Win7. what happens if you
try running the script directly from the CLI version of octave? Also, if
you had Matlab you could try using that instead of Octave to see if it
works.

I have just tried to test on Windows 10 and install Octave because of
that. The Octave installer told me "not yet fully tested on Windows 10,
but you can provide feedback. Proceed anyway?", and I stopped there.
This very much sounds like a problem outside the gretl scope.
If you're missing the multiple plot facility in gretl and graphpage ist
too limited, I'm sorry, I don't have a short-term scripting solution
other than interacting with gnuplot. (For multiple plots of time series
in the GUI you can go to View/Multiple plots/Time series in the menus.)

I wonder if it would help, to end the octave foreign block with an
explicit "exit" or "quit" command?
