**** Please respond at the bottom. When you reply at the top, it is difficult
to follow along. Also please "reply-all" so that the help-list is not dropped
of the list ****

If you're expecting to use Octave frequently you may want go get a copy of the
book below.
http://www.packtpub.com/news/become-confident-octave-user-packt%E2%80%99s-latest-book
There is a tutorial available in wikibooks as well.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Octave_Programming_Tutorial/Getting_started
With more below.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Octave_Programming_Tutorial
If you know what commands you need to run, you can enter them into a text
editor and then save them to an m-file. Be sure the name ends with ".m".
Something line "foo.m" would work.

If you just need to copy-n-paste commands, then you can select the commands
with your mouse, type ctrl+c, click on the Octave window and then type ctrl+v.
