Let's take a step back: do you have Octave installed?  Assuming you are on
Windows, head to this Octave wiki page:

http://www.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Octave_for_Windows

There are also instructions on there for sort-of-integrating Notepad++ if
you'd like.  I would recommend installing Notepad++ anyway, even if you
don't follow those directions.  All the instructions do is make it possible
to type "edit <filename>.m" at the Octave prompt.  Most Windows users are
accustomed to opening up Windows Explorer and double-clicking on
<filename>.m, which is a bit slower but works just fine.

As for actually using Octave, I just realized that there are no Getting
Started wiki pages or anything similar.  Maybe search for "octave tutorial"
or something similar.
