Re: Unidentified subject!

[Mark P. Esplin]

        The diary command works on my system: GNU Octave, version 2.1.48 on 
Linux.  
However, I usually don't use it.  I just open another window with an external 
editor and cut and paste commands from my session into the file.

                          -Mark Esplin
