HI again this is just too weird

function fig ( functionname)

% create the name of the file.
prestring = strcat ( functionname, ".fig" )
prefilenamestr = strcat ( """", prestring )
filenamestr = strcat ( prefilenamestr, """" ) 

OUTPUT: is this how this is supposed to work?

octave:16> fig ("foo")
prestring = foo.fig
prefilenamestr = "foo.fig
filenamestr = "foo.fig"
octave:17>
