Are you sure that it just doesn't page the output? Check the value of 
the variable page_screen_output.
On my system:

octave:30> page_screen_output
page_screen_output = 0
octave:31> for x=1:10;x,end
x = 1
x = 2
x = 3
x = 4
x = 5
x = 6
x = 7
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
octave:32>

Also try 'octave --traditional' for Matlab-like default settings.
