RE: Basic editing in Octave under Windows environment

Hi Robert,

Scripting sounds the best way to avoid complex typing.
I am trying SCiTE editor, which might be better than what I use now.
Thanks a lot for the info.

I only use the shell command lines for small tasks.  

Or, very very long single lines

Anything more significant, I use script files, not
necessarily functions, simply script.

They're easier to edit and put in diagnostic output lines.

Also I use the Sc1.exe editor both for Win98 and WinXP

Very small, does NOT insinuate itself into Windows.
It colors, indents, etc, very handy editor also for C++
