gnuplot invalid command when running a script

Question

I simply want to run a script with gnuplot. I am using gnuplot in windows. So on gnuplot command line I type this

gnuplot histo.gp

However I get invalid command error like this

gnuplot> gnuplot histo.gp
         ^
         invalid command

How can I run a script in gnuplot for windows?

Try

gnuplot> load histo.gp

from the gnuplot command line. If you want to run the script directly from the Windows command line, you should be able to run

# gnuplot.exe histo.gp

(Or similar, I don't use Windows.)
