how to invoke gnuplot application from command prompt screen in windows ??

I have downloaded Gnuplot application in windows, On running the application it gives it's own command screen. But if I try to invoke it in Command prompt screen of windows, it says

"gnuplot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or a batch file."

Can anyone please tell me how to invoke gnuplot application from command prompt screen in windows!!

Note: And also this is the reason if I am trying to invoke gnuplot from within a C program, on compilation through cmd terminal though it gives no error but still I get no display output. (may be).

It opens fine from the command prompt:

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnuplot\bin> gnuplot.exe

gnuplot changed the codepage of this console from 437 to 1252 to
match the graph window. Some characters might only display correctly
if you change the font to a non-raster type.

Terminal type set to 'windows'

If you have a gnuplot script (say scr.gnuplot) just run it as : gnuplot.exe scr.gnuplot from the "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnuplot\bin" folder.
