plotting to Postscript doesn't work?

[Bart Vandewoestyne]

I'm trying to get my Octave to write it's figure output to Postscript 
files (or any other output i can embed in a LaTeX document), but it 
doesn't work.  This is an example of what I'm trying to do:

I start up Octave, and this gives me a nice, clean sinus-plot in an X1 
window:

octave:2> t=[0:0.01:2*pi];
octave:3> plot(t, sin(t))

Now I would like to have this plot in an output file sinus.ps, 
therefore I follow the instructions that I came across while googling:

octave:5> set term postscript

-> Now a bunch of output scrolls up my screen, i guess it's the 
Postscript language...?

Next thing I do is define my output file:

octave:6> set output "sinus.ps"

-> Again a bunch of Postscript commands scrolls up my screen...

And last but not least, i try to plot:

octave:7> plot(t, sin(t))

I'm expecting a postscript file in my current working directory, but 
no... nothing there:

octave:9> ls *.ps
ls: *.ps: No such file or directory


What am I doing wrong here?

The Octave version I'm using is GNU Octave, version 2.1.52 
(i386-pc-linux-gnu) on a Debian unstable box.


Regards,
Bart
