Ben,

I should have written "definitely x11", sorry. As I said, I don't have  
aquaterm installed or compiled in, see below:

On the other hand, when I do

octave:10> plot_stream=__gnuplot_open_stream__ (1 )
plot_stream =  8
octave:11> fprintf(plot_stream,"splot sin(x)*cos(y) wi pm3d\n")
octave:12> fflush (plot_stream )

then I get a window where the mouse works.

Now that's interesting, since what I get from my X11 terminal looks  
pretty much like what you get from aquaterm in terms of line style and  
font weight, _and_ I don't see any coordinates in the lower left (see  
attached image)!
