      Workaround:

      Description: One of the instructions in Step 4 states:

      "To make the output go into a file instead of an interactive window add the following to the top of /root/loadavg.gnuplot."

      But, more accurately, the set commands must only occur before the "plot" command, not necessarily at the top. While the placement is trivial, that isn't the point. The need is for the students to realize that "set term" and "set output" are really the prep for the work performed by plot. I suggest that this sentence be replace by:

      "To send the output to a graphic file instead of the interactive window add insert the following commands that declare the output format anywhere above the plot command line in /root/loadavg.gnuplot."
