Ada,

This is the goal of octave to support the above syntax, exactly due to 
this long standing difference to matlab, and the "-text" option was 
introduced to replace the "-ascii" option. This was done about a year 
ago to allow people to get used to the "-text" option and replace 
"-ascii" in their existing code with "-text". Its probably time now to 
make octave do what you suggest above, but it won't work at this time in 
any version of octave at this time..
