Sorry, I totally overlooked that! Of course it needs to be "for [:]" in
both the first and the second subplot. Where does the manual say
otherwise? That would be an error and you should file a bug report.

The command

  plot [j=1:7] dataf ...

should assign the value 1 to "j", and make a plot with abscissa
range[1:7]. (The assignment is not actually done, but the parser also
doesn't throw an error. It arguably should do one or the other, so
that's a small bug.)

That's the expected behaviour. The special filename '' just contains the
last file(name) that was plotted, not the whole iteration.
