Re: Starting problem

[JasonNicholson]

1. Go to the directory that you installed Octave.  For instance mine is
"C:\Octave\Octave-3.6.4"
2.  Next go to  "\share\octave\site\m\startup\" . 
3.  There should be a file called "octaverc".  Open it with a text editor. 
I then put the following lines at the end of the file:

EDITOR('C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe');
edit mode async;


Note that the path to notepad++ may be different on you computer.  Find
notepad++.exe on you computer and use that path instead of what I have.

4.  Save "octaverc".
5.  Open Octave.  
6.  type edit('thisIsATest') at the command prompt of Octave and hit Enter. 
Notepad++ should open up.  The context highlighting for MATLAB should be
active.


Hopefully this is clear.  Note, I Just followed the instructions from the
wiki that Ben sent you.

Sincerely,
Jason
