How do I paste code at the Octave prompt?

[Keith Goodman]

I often evaluate snippets of code by pasting the snippet into the
command window.

Pasting this works:

for i = 1:10
    disp(i)
end

But pasting this doesn't work:

for i = 1:10
    if i > 4
        disp(i)
    end
end

I get

>> for i = 1:10
> if i > 4
>
Display all 2165 possibilities? (y or n)
> d
> end
