2.1.36, the octave+forge release from Agustin Barto:
http://www.efn.uncor.edu/departamentos/computacion/materias/informatica/software/octave-2.1.36-2002121500.exe
echo $SHELL returns nothing (except help on the echo function).
The desktop shortcut refers to
"C:\Program Files\GNU Octave 2.1.36\bin\run.exe" rxvt.exe --keysym.0xFF50 '^a'
--keysym.0xFF57 '^e' --keysym.0xFFFF '^f^h' -fn "Lucida Console-12" -tn linux
-title "GNU Octave 2.1.36" -geometry 80x25 -sl 400 -sr -e /bin/start_octave.sh"
So I guess the "shell" here is different (run.exe?).
Good question. Agustin?

It works both on my cygwin machine and on my Linux machine. What shell
are you running? Both of the machines I tried this on are using bash.
The command "echo $SHELL" will tell you what shell you're running.
Thanks,
