#2495 — gnuplot tab completion of filename

Hi,
I am using gnuplot for long time, and one problem that I always feel is it is not closing the " on tab completion of filename.
e.g.
gnuplot> p 'fo<Tab>
will give me:
gnuplot> p 'fort.10 <cursor here, see the missing '>

while I would expect to have:
gnuplot> p 'fort.10' <cursor here>

I am using the rpm from fedora, which gives:
 show version long

You need the readline

If I see it right below it is not available.

Thats my toughest work at work: Make them (Sysads) to install gnuplot
WITH the readline.

That is not a problem.  gnuplot will load the file just fine even 
without the closing quote.  Still-open quotes are silently closed when 
you press <enter>
