(how to) change to MATLAB mode

[Russell jarvis]

I wonder if anyone knows how to change Octave-3.0.1 to MATLAB mode.

I tried to follow some out of date information on the internet.

I ended up changing a file:
/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.1/m/startup/octaverc

The changes that I made just ended up generating error messages about
unused variables PS1 and PS2 etc.

If anyone can refer me to recent information on changing to MATLAB
mode that would be great.

Thanks.
Russell.
