So, when people are saying that they can't live without a GUI, they are really asking for a command line window with a few decorations to give them a warm and fuzzy feeling (ah, the familiar "Edit" button). Oh, and a "print" button on the plot window. jwe
I have been using Octave almost exclusively. But when I really get stuck, trying to debug some complex code, I use Matlab's graphical debugging mode to find my problem. It is very convenient to be able to step through the code and evaluate individual expressions/check variable values.
