I don't know if it is the best way to go about it, and I still have a 
lot of questions on it myself, but if you create a file called .gnuplot 
in your home directory and include the line "set mouse" then you should 
be able to do a lot of the things you have suggested.  Someone 
originally posted it on here as a means to be able to rotate 3D plots, 
but you can right-click and select an area, then click again and it will 
zoom in.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to zoom back out this 
way.  As far as switching axes to log axes, press 'l' while in the 
plotting window.  Pressing 'h' lists several options as well in your 
Octave terminal window.

If anyone has any suggestions that work even better I'd love to hear 
them.  I'm curious about this too.
