Question / suggestion on octave - mode for emacs

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
I have been searching a while for a command from within octave - mode in emacs 
to simply send the current buffer to octave - but did not find it.

So I created an addition - based on octave-mode of emacs 24.2.1:

You may like or dislike the key-bindings - however, this is a fast command 
interface to send commands to octave, I made it compliant to gnuplot-mode as 
Ctrl-b sends the current buffer to gnuplot.

Take care
