Re: Octave.app for MacOSX released

[Henry F. Mollet]

Many thanks, it worked with this additional change.

I'm not sure whether I was supposed to expect problems when trying to run
Octave-2.9.12 from an xterm window in X11. So I've tried and it worked just
fine, i.e. the AquaTerm window had the correct title number x as per figure
(x) command used. I checked that the ../2.9.12/m/plot.drawnow.m which had
been amended in two steps was being used.

My ~.gnuplot does not set aqua it only contains 'set mouse' and 'set
loadpath ="....."'.
My ~.bash_profile, does contain 'export GNUTERM=aqua' and 'export
DISPLAY=:0.0'. However, this may not be relevant for X11?
I have checked my ~.xinitrc but could not find anything of relevance in it
as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge of such things.
