Just for the sake of completeness - I tried your suggestions:
1. draw3d(implicit(5*x+y+z=3,x,-1,1,y,-1,1,z,-1,1),terminal=aquaterm);
which indeed shows a window with my plot BUT this window lacks the fundamental ability to rotate the graph using the mouse which is essential for my application.
2. plot3d (3-5*x-y, [x,-1,1], [y,-1,1], [z,-1,1]);
the same: yes, a window, but not responding to mouse.
