Dear Sir

As a former user of MATLAB, I use, in long script files, to have the
system telling me
where it is, by writing values of some variables during the execution of

the programs.
In MATLAB I simple insert the name of the variable in the program
without putting
the semicolon at the end of the line. In OCTAVE this does not work. How
can I
circumvent this problem? In other words, how can I make the computer
send me
messages during the calculation?

Thanks in advance
Claudio Scherer
