On my system:

Maxima version: 5.25.1
Maxima build date: minutes ago
Host type: x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0
Lisp implementation type: SBCL
Lisp implementation version: 1.0.51

Mac OS X: 10.7.2

Gnuplot: Version 4.4 patchlevel 4

AquaTerm: 1.0.1

the draw3d(...) command above works, _BUT_ it overrides my gnuplot
environment setting and plots in an X11 window.  If Javier and Hermann
don't have X11 support in their gnuplot, that might explain what's
going on.

The plot3d(...) command plots in an AquaTerm window, as per my
environment settings.
