nikkos,

It isn't totally clear what your problem is, but I'll take a
guess.  You just want to run the commands in klo1.m in Octave.
To be simple, let's just say that klo1.m reads as follows:

  % This is klo1.m
  clear
  a = 1

Open your terminal.  Type

  cd /home/student/m/

To verify the content of klo1.m, type

  cat klo1.m

The output is:

  % This is klo1.m
  clear
  a = 1

Start Octave in the terminal:

  octave

Then run klo1.m:

  octave:1> klo1
  a =  1
