If I define the following function:

function t (x)
x**2
endfunction

It seems that I cannot multiply this function by a  constant.

For example:

Octave:1> 2 * t(4)

gives an error. The error says: "evaluating binary operator * "

Can anyone explain why this is ? This does not happen to me with other programs.

Thanks much.
