Hmm.  This doesn't work for me, because Octave does not see the output
from gnuplot:

  $ octave
  GNU Octave, version 2.0.14 (i686-pc-linux-gnu).

          terminal type is x11 

  diary off
  octave:4> quit
  $ cat parseme 
  octave:2> gshow terminal
  octave:3> diary off

The message from gnuplot goes directly to stdout or stderr, so Octave
doesn't capture it and send it to the pager or put it in the diary
file.
