double property "markersize" failed

[Corson Charles]

Greetings,

I was tinkering, always a bad thing, with the set  
(0,default..property,value)   so as to have a default sized marker for  
a long series of data reductions and I immediately got into the error  
state below (and yes, I made some typo's, but when checking the plot  
function afterwords, I was ok until the 'markersize' was tried - yes,  
I was experimenting on finding the right syntax).  I cannot get out of  
it, period.

I have backups so, I restored the /opt/local/share/octave/3.2.3/m/ 
plot/  directory.  no luck.  I ran octave w/no read of init files, the  
same errors.


Any suggestions, or knowledge of how to recover, it would be  
appreciated of course (where do these default settings write to file?   
I assume somewhere as evidenced to the persistence of the error).   
True,   I can reinstall OCTAVE, changing the 'default property/value'  
for routine plotting *shouldn't* be a problem right?


ok, back to work



Charles
