TextFile

Command-line substitution is specified by a system command enclosed in
backquotes (`).  This command is spawned and the output it produces
replaces the name of the command (and backquotes) on the command line.

Newlines in the output produced by the spawned command are replaced with
blanks.

Command-line substitution can be used anywhere on the GNUPLOT command
line. 


Example:

This will run the program 'leastsq' and substitute `leastsq` on the
command line with its output:

 f(x) = `leastsq`

or, in VMS

 f(x) = `run leastsq`
