Beginner's Help with argv

[epetting]

Hello, 

I'm relatively new to octave and cannot get the argv function to work 

Here is my script (saved as ARGS.m):

clear all;
close all;

args=argv
m=str2num(argv(){1});
n=str2num(argv(){2});
disp(m*n)

However, when I type 
ARGS 2 3
into the terminal, all I receive is the following:
error: invalid use of script /Users/ep/ARGS.m in index expression 

Any help is appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance! Also, I am using Octave
version 3.4.0 (if that makes a difference!)
