Follow-up Comment #7:

@Mike: I like it.  I took the liberty of using your code and also modifying
run.m to put the input validation first.  In addition, we no longer need the
call to make_absolute_filename at all.  The 'cd' command can handle relative
paths just fine.  That also fixes the case you mentioned of 


run //tmp/foo.m


See http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/98ee8b1ebbeb.

I also optimized do_make_absolute for the common occurrence (every single time
a prompt is generated) where it is called with '.' as an input.  See
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8df31c24dce3.

Closing report.
