this function calls the gnuplot.exe file and then runs the plots for gnuplot from the gnu_script file. The gnu_script file has gnu plot commands like:

Code:
plot "try.dat" using 1 with lines
pause -1 "Press enter for next plot"
plot "try1.dat" using 2 with lines
pause -1 "Press enter for next plot"
plot "try2.dat" using 1 with lines 
pause -1 "Press enter for next plot"

dunno if this may help. just an idea.
Thanks.
In the meantime tested file.plt
run as any another shell script with plot commands
and it worked.

One issue is interaction and parameters entering for interaction and animation.
plot "-" command doesn't work withing .plt script

====================
./loop3.plt

plot "-"
^
"./loop3.plt", line 5: Bad data on line 1

======================
does work as
gnuplot > plot "-"
======================
4.9 Can I put both commands and data into a single file?

This is possible by the new plot "-" possibility. The plot "-" command allows to read the data to be plot from standard input or the current batch job.

gnuplot> plot "-"

PLOT(3F)																  PLOT(3F)

NAME

       plot: openpl et al. - f77 library interface to plot(3X) libraries.

SYNOPSIS

       subroutine openpl()

       subroutine erase()

       subroutine label(str)
       character str*(*)

       subroutine line(ix1, iy1, ix2, iy2)

       subroutine box(ix1, iy1, ix2, iy2)
       Draw a rectangle and leave the cursor at ( ix2,iy2).

       subroutine circle(ix, iy, ir)

       subroutine arc(ix, iy, ix0, iy0, ix1, iy1)

       subroutine move(ix, iy)

       subroutine cont(ix, iy)

       subroutine point(ix, iy)

       subroutine linemd(str)
       character str*(*)

       subroutine space(ix0, iy0, ix1, iy1)

       subroutine clospl()

DESCRIPTION

       These are interface subroutines, in the library -lf77plot, allowing f77 users to call the plot(3X) graphics routines which generate graphic
       output in a relatively device-independent manner.  The f77 subroutine names are the same as the C function names except	that  linemod  and
       closepl have been shortened to linemd and clospl .  See plot(5) and plot(3X) for a description of their effect.

       Only the first 255 character in string arguments to label and linemd are used.

       This  library  must be specified in the f77(1) command before the device specific graphics library; for example, to compile and load a FOR-
       TRAN program in prog.f to run on a Tektronix 4014 terminal:

	      f77 prog.f -lf77plot -l4014

       See plot(3X) for a complete list of device specific plotting libraries.
