a) I have a data file with, well ... data, and a .gnu file with gnuplot commands. If I call gnuplot like this:

gnuplot -p commands_file.gnu

I'll get the graph on screen and when I close it, gnuplot will be in it's own prompt (gnuplot>_). How can I make it just show the graph, and put me back on cmd prompt after I close it ?

b) How to "export" that graph to png or something insertable in Word ? I know there are a dozen tutorials for this on the 'net, but I'm having trouble just finding a simple example.
