Right-click on the Octave icon and choose Properties in the context 
menu. There you can modify foreground and background colours. One of the 
pages there  - I think it is called layout - offers to increase buffer 
size or something called similar (don't have a Windows computer at hand 
right now). All that said - if you installed 2.9.12 with "console" you 
probably need to do all these changes in console's properties dialogue.


To get rid of the long prompt:
