It works indeed, but it requires user interaction. One of the first virtue
of programmers should be laziness. When you find yourself repeating over and
over the same commands, put them in a file with the .m extension. Just
typing the name of this file (without .m) in the octave window executes all
the commands in the file. Furthermore, you can transform this set of
commands in a function, accepting parameters and returning some result, with
the advantage of having local variables. Look in the manual for the topic
"Functions and scripts".
