Make a file in your home directory called ".octaverc"

put in it something like:

INFO_PROGRAM="info-emacs-octave-help";
EDITOR="gnuclient -q";
LOADPATH =
".:/usr/local/libexec/octave/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu//:/usr/local$
PS1="\\t \\s --> ";
PS2="continue... -->";

See octave documentation for explanation of each line except for the
Editor line, which is a personal hack.
