If I understand correctly what you want to do:

1. after you run your script, you have vectors "t" and "y" as output
from ode45. Then you can compute "ca" and "out" from y like this: (the
dot before slash operator means that division will be done
element-wise)

  ca = y ./ sz;
  out = vmax ./ (1+km ./ ca);

You could also use already defined function qaout: "[out,ca] =
qaout(t,y,vmax,km,sz)", but you would need to change "/" to "./" as
above, so that the function can accept vector y.

You can save variables to file with save command:
 save myfile.dat t ca out
will save variables t, ca, out to myfile.dat (this will use Octave's
own format - see "help save" for other formats)

2. You can plot several variables with
  plot (t, ca, 'r-', t, out, 'b-')
Strings 'r-' and 'b-' set color (red and blue) and linestyle (solid line).

3. @ is used to create anonymous function - see chapter 11 ("Functions
and script files") of Octave manual
