You put all your k-points into case.klist_band (or let xcrysden do it 
for you.

The you run the bandstructure task in w2web or from the command line:

x lapw1 -band
x spaghetti   (it creates case.insp if not present)
edit case.insp  and put EF into it. Also select lines/dots/color,...)
x spaghetti
It produces a plot   case.sphaghetti_ps with vertical lines.
Alternatively, you can use xmgrace to plot the agr file (also with 
vertical lines).

If you really want to use case.spaghetti_ene and plot it with gnuplot, 
you have to write it yourself. But I would hardly know why you want to 
do this.
