Hello,,
you should set the variable "PS1" (type help PS1 to see the options)  
as you wish. To do it pernamently, set it in your .octaverc file (more  
about configuration files of Octave is in The Manual here:  
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Startup-Files.html#Startup-Files)
Thread about this problem (prompt and PS1) and its solution is here:

Enjoy.
Best,
