(I really need to add this to the official FAQ...)

What's most likely happening is that the Octave process is finishing
when it finishes executing your script, so it also closes the window
it spawned. Tell Octave to wait by adding a pause command to your
script after the plot command.

If that doesn't work, tell me what happens and what version of Octave
you're using on what OS.
