Hallo John,

not a critical problem, I just recognized that the output of the function 
'error' produces different outputs if used in the command window -- from out an 
*.m file and an *.oct file. I must say that I didn't had a look at the origin of 
the problem and didn't search the mailing lists if it is known but I attach 
three very similar example files so that you should be able to reproduce the 
different outputs.

void mexFunction (int nlhs, mxArray* plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray* prhs[]) { 
  mxArray *retval = NULL;
  mexWarnMsgIdAndTxt ("ccwarnerr:WarnID", "This is a warning with ID");
  mexErrMsgIdAndTxt  ("ccwarnerr:ErrID", "This is an error with ID");
  plhs[0] = retval;
}
