please help a novice octave user.

[Gary Church]

Hi.

I'm just begining to learn the in's and out's of Octave and have made
some progress on my own but would appreciate some minor help.

I'm using Octave version for OS/2 (release 2.0.13)

When I invoke one of my own *.m scripts, I'm always returned the path to
the script before the script runs. Is it possible to disable this?

the "diary" command seems not to function properly. It doesn't create a
file containing the input and output from my own scripts. Is there a fix
or work-around for this?

Thanks for your help,
Gary.
