Running files from within octave

[Martin Hicks]

Excuse this question, I assume it's in the archives, but I'm in a terrible
rush:


How do I run files from within the octave interpreter. 

I have a file that does plotting, so if I run

octave file.m 

it just flashes the graph to the screen but then when octave returns to
the shell, the plots disappear.  I can't seem to figure out how to simply
invoke octave and then run this file.

TIA,
mh
