    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following causes a parse error:

holding = ishold(); if(0 == holding) hold on; end

syntax error
holding = ishold(); if(0 == holding) hold on; end
                                           ^




The following does not:

holding = ishold(); if(0 == holding) eval('hold on'); end


This seems to be the same as the previously-reported problem using 'more off'
where I use 'hold on'.
