I don't think so, but let me try to explain what I'm wanting a bit 
better, and maybe you can tell me if it will work (and perhaps give an 
example of how to do it):

I am currently doing something like

DLD_FUNCTION(TranslateSBML, argsIn, , "") {
   octave_value_list retval;

   Octave_map a;
   a.assign("foo", 123);
   a.assign("bar", GetSubstruct());

   return retval;
}

octave_value_list GetSubstruct() {
   Octave_map tmp;
   octave_value_list substruct;

   for (int i=0; i < 10; i++) {
     tmp.assign("a", i);
     substruct(i) = tmp;
   }

   return substruct;
}

I want substruct to be a struct vector instead of a cell vector.  How do I 
do that?

Bill
