Coexisting Octave versions -- ? [was "Re: `clear variable` does not work ?"]

[John B. Thoo]

Hello.  I, too, have not upgraded from 2.1.73 because I have several  
plotting scripts that I don't want to have to modify.

Would it be possible for me to install the latest Octave without  
clobbering 2.1.73?  How?  And would it be a simple matter to specify  
which version to use when I run Octave?  Again, how?

What do y'all think would be my best game plan?  I'm using a  
PowerBook G4 12", OS X 10.4.11.  TIA.

---John.
