Re: best Octave developers platform?

[Maynard Wright]

Hi, Javier,

That's true.  I prefer, though, to open a separate terminal so that the code 
in Kate can occupy more of the screen while editing.  That is, of course, 
just personal preference.  My preference might be at least in part because I 
use only laptops, having converted to that mode of operation while I was 
traveling every week for a few years before I retired.

Thanks for highlighting another option that I didn't think to mention.
