3.2.4 is ancient by current standards.
The setenv command does not influence Octave's term setting once Octave is
already running; you'll need to do so somehow before starting Octave.
I'd suggest to simply upgrade to a newer Octave version.
On SourceForge there are several newer Octave versions available, see here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave Windows binaries/
The MSVC 3.6.4 binary there probably has the easiest installer. Don't forget
to select the add-on packages you may need while running the installer.
