> I saw that but what causes SET TABLE for example to print only 6 significant digits? I'm guessing because its printing a single precision "float".  Is there anyway to get more precision in the TABLE from SPLOT contours?

very simple, e.g.

   set format ".12f"
   set table
   plot <your function>

"% h" has some automagic that switches between fp and exponential
notation, which isnt really meant to be used to print out numerical
data, but for labelling axis tics.
