[h-e-w] Plot in Octave under Gnu Emacs on Windows XP doesn't work

[Lars Ericson]

Hi,

I have Gnu Emacs 24.2 and I'm doing run-octave for Octave 3.6.2 Visual Studio 
2010 build.  Octave runs but plot commands do not pop up a window.

Any thoughts?  Various people have had similar problems and I tried changing 
graphics toolkit from qt to gnuplot to fxlt but that doesn't help.

Here is my .emacs file:

(autoload 'octave-mode "octave-mod" nil t)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.m$" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode 1) (auto-fill-mode 1)))
(add-to-list 'exec-path "C:\\Program Files\\Octave-3.6.2\\bin")

Thanks,
Lars Ericson
