That version is more than four years old now, and was just a
development snapshot anyway.  I strongly encourage you to upgrade to
the latest stable release, version 3.0.0.  With 3.0.0, you can use

  print -dpng myfile.png

to create a png file of the current plot (assuming your version of
gnuplot has been compiled so that it can generate PNG files).
