problem with gnuplot and octave, 2.9.19, MSVC build on windows XP

[N. B.]

I'm not a professional programmer, but from what I understand, h becomes -1, and this is apparently an invalid value for the purpose (I removed the test for h < 0, and octave complained about it. I don't know what happens inside popen). Let me know if there is something I can do for help.
  Thank you.

This is normal. I just wanted to check whether gnuplot was available.
Normally, octave starts gnuplot using something like:

h = popen("pgnuplot");
pclose(h);

If this works correctly, then I don't see any other way to find the problem
than debugging drawnow.m to see what's exactly executed and trying to
see what's going on.
