Question about how to run octave from MS-DOS window

[charles reid]

Hi Heidy -

I created a test file (test.m):

a=2+2
b=5+5
a+b

I put this in C:\Program Files\Octave\bin, then from a command line, ran the
commands:

C:\ > chdir "c:\Program Files\Octave\bin"
C:\Program Files\Octave\bin > octave.exe test.m

This gave me some output that is the usual startup message you see in
octave, plus a few lines that were the output of the program,

a = 4
b = 10
ans = 14

Does that answer your question?
