Subject: Use of the Octave-Forge print routine on a Mac

I decided to try to move into the 21st century and try to replace a few of
my old replot commands with the Octave-Forge print command. In trying to get
print to work, I read the help file, and the on-line help files, but still
no luck.

My questions:

1) Does print work on a Mac with octave-2.1.64, gnd gnuplot-4.0? I assume
that since I'm setting the output to -depsc, AquaTerm 1.0 would not be
involved.

2) I have tried many different syntaxes to try to coax print to work:
     print test_out.eps -FTimes-Roman -depsc
     print("test_out.eps","-FTimes-Roman","-depsc")
     all the way to
     print("file_plot.eps","'-FTimes-Roman'","'-depsc'")
At least the last one fails on an if statement deep within the print
routine*. What is the proper syntax?

3) I assume that print works as an improved "replot" routine. Is this a
correct assumption? If not, how should it be used?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Joe
