Dear Dick: 

A similar question was raised last year in this list. This was my
answer:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2013-10/msg00244.html

If the version that you are using is the MXE build by Markus Bergholz,
(http://mxeoctave.osuv.de), that won't work, because the qt toolkit is
not available there, as far as I have tried.

But it is available, and I used it successfully, with Octave 3.6.1 for
Windows MS Visual Studio
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.6.1%20for%20Windows%20Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio/).

If you want to use that version, take into account that it is an older
version, previous to the official release of the GUI, and that it needs
the MS Visual Studio runtime libraries (available with no charge, but
not really "free").

Best regards
Helios
