Hello Ben,
I got Octave using MacPorts. I'm quite sure I also got AquaTerm and Gnuplot 
there, also I might have had earlier manual installations from a different 
source.
I'm running MacOS 10.7.5, Octave 3.6.3, AquaTerm 1.1.1, Gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 
1.
Neither image nor images produce anything but an AquaTerm window which only 
contains a set of empty axes.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Jan
