OK, thanks.

Hmm, alright.  So I'm guessing that this might not be correct then:

octave:11> sprintf('hi\nthere')
ans = hi
there

which currently is the same as with " ", unless the printf() family has been 
fixed in CVS.


So, I shouldn't be writing lines like this:

   __gnuplot_raw__ (sprintf ('set nokey\n'));

but instead like this

   __gnuplot_raw__ ("set nokey\n");

?

gvim's highlighting works better with single quotes than with double quotes, 
unfortunately.
