Hello

This is frequently asked.

The below is one of the examples.

Please search your home directry by 
octave:5> tilde_expand ('~')
ans = D:\usr\Tatsu

In the above example (my case), I made '.octaverc' in D:\usr\Tatsu
 and edit it by a suitable text editor (you can use notepad++ in octave for 
windows.)
as

#begining of .octaverc
#
PS1("octave:\\#> ");

# end of .octaverc

Please see octave manual in details.
