__gnuplot_raw__ ("reset")

How can I reset all the parameters without closing the terminal and starting
a new octave session. JWE on Aug 26, 2004 suggested graw ("reset"). Is this
no longer valid? I know that I should now use __gnuplot_raw__ ("reset") but
neither one works for me.

In a new terminal at the Octave prompt I can use 'gshow all' to get all the
default settings. Then I run a script which is using multiplot.m and
contour.m. At the end of the script I use __gnuplot_raw__ ("reset") which
appears to have no effect.

Below I use __gnuplot_raw__ ("reset") again at the octave prompt and then I
use 'gshow all'. I get an error the first time but it works the second time.
However, the parameters have not been reset to the default (e.g. label,
parametric where default should be off, xlabel, and ylabel have not been
reset to the default values.
