How did you get it so short?  They always look like this...

octave:1>

...or so I thought.  They've looked like that on every system on which I 
have compiled and used Octave.  I like mine as it is because it reminds me 
that I'm not in my Linux/UNIX shell, but I can understand shortening it 
under some conditions (handheld device, etc.).
