The following is one of several solutions to this
problem:
1. In GNU use "set output 'out_file'" then do a "set
term pslatex". Then your plot command along with
accompanying text commands (e.g. set xlabel '$x^2$'
etc.) in appropriate TeX/LATeX format (i.e.
sub/superscript) as is ahown above. When you're done,
do a "set term X11" to flush out the thing. This will
create a "out_file" conating LATeX commands for your
sub/superscript and embedded PS commands for your
graphics.
Alternatively, you can do a "set term pslatex
auxfile" which will do the same thing but the PS
commands will be put in a "out_file.ps" file.
Now you can include the "out_file" in your
LATeX master file. If you however want only a
postscript file containg the graphics and texts, the
only thing you can do to create a LATeX master file
(see above) with only the "out_file" included and
convert to a postscript using dvips.
2. The other way is to do a "set term post ..." like
you said and write sub/superscript by changing the
fontsize and their placement position, which is, no
doubt, a clumsy process. So stick to procedure 1.
