Thank you very much, entering that into the terminal did the trick. Now I
just need to figure out how to change which numbers are printed on the
axises, theres' not enough room for them when doing a sublot. But that can
be done with gnuplot syntax directly in the m-file, right? 
Also, how do I make the GNUTERM export more permanent so I don't have to
type it in every time I want to run Octave?
