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.
