Console to text editor to go

[Michael Grossbach]

You type
 >>edit myfunction
in Octave which opens the editor Scite. In the editor you edit whatever 
you want to have in your function file, and save it as myfunction.m in a 
folder on the octave path. IIRC you're using Octave on Windows, so 
%USERPROFILE%\octave would be a suitable folder (type echo %USERPROFILE% 
in a cmd window to find out what the Windows variable %USERPROFILE% 
resolves to on your system). After saving you can run myfunction from 
Octave by typing at the prompt
 >>myfunction

HTH, Michael
