[Ifeffit] Demeter: Problem closing communication to gnuplot

[Bruce Ravel]

It would, of course, help to see the script, but I can guess what the 
issue is.

Try doing

   use Demeter qw(:ui=screen);

at the top of the script, and

   $data_object -> pause;

before it exits.

The specific message is issued because the perl script ended while the 
pipe to the gnuplot process was still open.  That doesn't happen if you 
put in a pause.  And you get to look at the plot before it vanishes!
