You mean that it doesn't respond to mouse events?  Mumit's README file
says:

  What's broken?

    [Event handling]
      No events are handled since gnuplot is always waiting for data on
      stdin. Under X, this is easy to handle (simply wait on stdin and
      X connection), but I have no idea how to do this in Win32. You'll
      have to replot to refresh, and to bring the window back to top, 
      you'll have to close and reopen. Yuk!

    [HELP command]
      Borland's help compiler can't grok the file supplied. Probably has
      never worked.

You should still be able to put labels on the plots using commands
from Octave:

  gset title "my plot";
  gset xlabel "x"
  gset ylabel "y"
  replot

etc.
