RE: Starting using octave

[THOMAS Paul Richard]

Thanks for that one!  It worked straight out of the box and within 5
minutes, I had it linked up to my Intel compilers.  I like the look of the
Matlab/Octave style.  It even comes with batteries!

and now for my $0.02 :)

SciTe is a very good editor which has:
1) windows look & feel
2) GPL
3) very good hilighting of octave code
4) small footprint

see http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

really, for windows users emacs/xemacs are quite intimidating because of 
their unfamiliar GUI design philosophy. SciTe offers high quality 
editing with a familiar GUI
