Maybe you can try this alternative workflow. Use the edit command inside
octave. Look at "help edit". It says "edit mycode" will open mycode.m if
it's already in the search path or create it in your home directory if
it doesn't exist. Thought you may have to set your editor first if
getenv("EDITOR") is empty.
