Details:

Hi,
I have an issue with displaying arrays in the command window. The arrays are
not long, typically 101-1001 elements. However, I want it to be displayed
entirely as the script ran or on the call later. That was possible and easy
done in MatLab versions. However, I've now switched to Octave and displaying
the arrays is always interrupted by the PAGER when set to "less". In the case
when it is set to "more" then an error message "out-of-memory" appears.
Again the array are small so I don't think it consumes lot of physical memory
of the system and is rather limited by the display size of the Command Window.
Below the example of the error occurrence:
(
>> length(Ne)
ans = 701
>> PAGER
ans = less
Ne =
Columns 1 through 7:
2.3611 2.3596 2.3582 2.3567 2.3553 2.3538
2.3524..... until "-- less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit"

>> PAGER("more")
>> PAGER
ans = more
>> Ne
Not enough memory.
)

Is there a fix/solution for that?

Is there a way how to make paging in Octave, that it displays the arrays fully
and automatically scrolls the Command Window?

Best regards,
Alexander
