How can I make vim remember my manually input file type?

Vim doesn't remember the file type. When you open a file it
checks if the file matches certain criteria and then sets the
file type (:h filetype for more information).
You can fix this by either writing special rules to detect
gnuplot files (by having a look at the content) or by using the
correct extension (.gpi for gnuplot) which Vim can detect.
You can use a different extension of course by adding this to
your vimrc:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.extension-here setf gnuplot

As you say! Perhaps the logic that classifies a file as 'gnuplot' in
'filetype.vim' maintained by Bram Moolenaar, last change Jul 30 2010
needs to be updated so that it more correctly classifies gnuplot files.
The line(s) in filetype.vim which check and set ft=gnuplot
are:
751 " Gnuplot scripts
752 au BufNewFile,BufRead *.gpi setf gnuplot
I'm sure that Bram will be glad to receive suggestions.
