I downloaded the latest octave from http://hpc.sourceforge.net/.. which when I run it, seems to have problems with gnuplot/aquaterm and the -title directive.

Note: The identical problem also occurred with the octave.app version, discussed in the Octave.app-for-MacOSX-released discussion:
http://tinyurl.com/3ast5fThe solution there was to edit drawnow.m to not include the -title directive in the call to gnuplot.
I hoped this would work for the /usr/local distro as well, but the file drawnow.m is empty there, having only a comment:
cat /usr/local/share/octave/2.9.9/site/m/octave-forge/plot/drawnow.m ## This program intensionally left blank
So is there some way to modify the gnuplot/aquaterm invocation so as to avoid the -title directive in the /usr/local release of octave? Or better yet, a fix so that the -title directive works as it should?
Thanks! -- Owen
