Hi Todd, Just put all the commands you want in a text file, and run Gmsh on it: either "gmsh file" to show the GUI, or "gmsh file -" to don't show the GUI.
If you really want an interactive command line like gnuplot, have a look at gmsh/utils/solvers/c++/interactive.cpp in the Gmsh source code: it's an example on how you can build such an interactive system by communicating with a Gmsh server process.
