I want to change that to be 'qt' instead so every time I have to run "set term qt" so I am looking for a way to change it permanently.

You have to place the gnuplot.ini (not wgnuplot.ini, thats just for the windows GUI) file in the $APPDATA directory, which usually is \appdata\roaming (For some unknown reason, the ~\appdata directory is hidden by default. First thing I change on every windows machine, right after disabling the system sounds.) Enter "set APPDATA" on the command line to check. Or you reinstall gnuplot and choose a different default terminal in the installer. Hth, Karl
