You can save multiple variables in the same file. Load will load all of

That is a reason to have the feature, but it is not a reason to impose it
on all users for every data file they save. We often create data files in
octave to be imported into other programs. It would be very nice if we
could save in ascii format without the header lines. Something like this
would do:
`-ascii2'
save the data as plain text without Octave header information
Haven't we had a lot of questions/complaints that would be resolved by the
addition of this feature?
Maybe this would work only for 2-d arrays (matrices), but that is often
the sort of thing we are trying to save: Table data where rows are
records and columns are fields. Octave save -ascii does what we want
except that it has those extra initial lines that must be removed by some
external program before we can use the data.
