If I can set this through an environment variable, it will solve my
problem. Working through a startup file will be a little more
complicated, unless Octave, like Emacs, has multiple levels of startup
files that have precedence over each other until you get to the last
level, in the user's home directory. Maybe I could cat something to 
the end of a file, but One of the rules for the DVD is that it is not 
to touch anything on the computer behind the scenes except for ordinary 
temp files in places where such files are expected to live.
