You can't use "." in the names of objects; we should make that clearer. > ? "figure 1-3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series > figure 1-3 saved OK. > ?

That one sounds like a bug, but it's not a bug I can reproduce on Linux. I'll have to try testing on Windows when I get a chance. You could see if anything informative appears on stderr in this case, by running gretl in debugging mode: gretlw32.exe --debug Allin.
