You might want to try upgrading the cygwin library and tools to a newer version. I think there have been reports that the binary you have will still work with the newer libraries, and that it fixes some problems. I can no longer justify the time required to build binaries for Windows systems. If people want a better Windows port, someone will have to step forward to do it, or provide (substantial) funding. | octave.bin:4> help plot | WARNING: terminal is not fully functional | - (press RETURN) You might try TERM=linux. It may not solve the other problems, but I think less considers that terminal type to be fully functional. jwe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
