I have not been able to duplicate your problem. On my machine,
splot x**2 + y**2
gives me EXACTLY the same thing as the DOS version, namely a parabola
with X and Y ranging from -10 to 10. It has a value of 200 on each of the
corners, and a value of 0 in the middle. In other words, exactly what
we expect.
