I've outputted a gnuplot file called out.data as a plain text file. I have downloaded and install gnuplot but I can't seem to figure out how to open it.

gnuplot > plot out.data

But it gives me an error undefined variable: out

I have tried the following commands without success:

plot 'out.data'
plot 'out.data.txt'
plot out.data.txt
plot'home\peteuser\out.data.txt'
plot home\peteuser\out.data.txt
plot 'home\peteuser\out.data'

How can I open a gnuplot file?

If your file is actually a plot script (not just the data), then use: 

load "out.data"

if it's just the data then it will be 

plot "out.data"

Try plot "out.data" title "". More on gnuplot here: https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~vrable/gnuplot/using-gnuplot.html
