Hello

	   Although octave does not claim to be 100% compatible with
Matlab M-files I do have a question/request about the 'end' keyword.
Below I show a use of this keyword in both environments.  Is it
possible to add the 'end' keyword to make its use compatible with
Matlab?  And if you have no plans to do so could you give me a few
pointers into the code where I might try my hand at the task?

Thanx
ERIC
