RE: gnuplot win32

When trying to plot something, I still get the error mentionned by 
preceding messages, i.e:
error : stdin is not a tty
warning : broken pipe.

It seems from preceding answers that something like
putenv('TMPDIR','c:/tmp') should solve the problem...
What should I assign to TMPDIR if my octave executable is
d:/usr/local/bin/octave.exe
and my gnuplot execuatble is
d:/usr/local/gnuplot/wgnuplot.exe   ?

>> You need to first make sure this directory exists on your drive.
   I don't think it matters where you put the directory, though it's
   advisable to use an 8.3-compliant pathname (no long names or spaces).

I have at this time these two lines in my octaverc file (which is 
correctlty read) :
gnuplot_binary = "pipe-gnuplot d:/usr/local/gnuplot/wgnuplot"
putenv('TMPDIR','d:/usr/local/tmp')

>> Use backslashes in the gnuplot_binary directive, and forward ones
   in the putenv directive.  Also specify wgnuplot.exe, not wgnuplot.
