You can use disp and pause to do this. E.g.

     disp(interesting_variable);
     pause;

You might also be interested in turning off paging, so that results
aren't buffered, but printed right away. You can do this with
"page_output_immediately(1)".

If you want more fine-tuned debugging than this, you might want to
look at more advanced debugging functions (chapter 13 of the Octave
manual).
