In an xterm console:
The file gn0 contains all necessary instructions for displaying a gnuplot plot:
1 As expected (or as in the past, anyway) the command "gnuplot gn0" causes the 
gnuplot display to flash on screen
for an instant and then disappear. The user remains at the xterm prompt.
2 As ditto, the command "gnuplot gn0 -" presents the gnuplot display which 
persists, but the user is left in a gnuplot process
(i.e. showing the prompt gnuplot>) needing to press crtl-D to return to the 
xterm prompt.
So no problem and nothing new up to now.
3 What is desired should result from "gnuplot gn0 - &": the gnuplot display is 
shown on screen and will persist as long as required,
and the user returned to the xterm prompt to carry on with whatever other 
stuff; but what actually happens is an empty gnuplot display
with a clockface. Has the required command syntax "gnuplot gn0 - &" altered?
Thank you!
