Are you running octave in MSYS shell or in windows command prompt?
This makes a difference. I don't think what you want is possible in the
windows command prompt. However it might work in MSYS rxvt. But
keep in mind that MSYS rxvt terminal emulation is poor, so other things
might not work. To start octave correctly in MSYS rxvt, you should use
the flags --line-editing --interactive, to force interactive mode.
