| What version of Octave are you using?  There is a difference, for at

| 
|   toascii ("\n")
|   toascii ('\n')
| 
| This is explained in the current version of the manual, and even the
| old version here:

|   http://www.octave.org/doc/interpreter/Strings.html#Strings

| (which reminds me, the manual on the web should probably be updated to
| the version distributed with 3.2.2; I'll try to do that soon).
