I'm not very knowledgeable in pipes, popen, popen2, and such.

When I tried to do this the output from "set terminal;" displays to  
the command line (skips the pipe).

I assume this is why the gnuplot developers added the GPVAL_TERMINALS  
variable.

Is there still a compelling need to do this? ... if so any ideas how  
to proceed?
