The way I solve this problem is by creating a load file "load.m", at the
beginning of which is your gset commands, followed by plot commands and
ended with "gset nomulti" (the last command is to get a readable
postscript file). Each time when I need to refresh the plot, I quit
octave, restart it, and execute "load". This complicated method may have
to do with deleting intermediate tmp files (command "purge_tmp_files" does
not do a good job). I am sure there are better ways, maybe someone can
help.

Thanks,
Manojit
