Bug in docu or in plot routine

[Stefan Pofahl]

Hello John,

the thing with the "jhandle" is not described in the documentation
for Octave 3.0.3 (PDF-File).
If this is state of the art, it would be nice to document it in the
manual.
I think I use the gnuplot that is installed together with octave 3.0.3.
The command:
octave-3.0.3.exe:15> disp(system("pgnuplot -V"))
gives the output:
gnuplot 4.3 patchlevel 0-octave

Is it complicated to include the pdf print terminal in the octave print
command?
If it is to complicated, perhaps it's better to delete this output
terminal from the documentation.

Regards,

Stefan
