Hi Julien,

I started changing the #'s to %'s. That's no problem. But I won't change my 
++'s until Octave rewrites the "Increment Operators" section of its manual:
   
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Increment-Ops.html#Increment-Ops

I quote from that section:
   x++
       This expression causes the variable x to be incremented.
       The value of the expression is the old value of x.

Thinking further about it, I guess I'll just forget about MatLab. I like ++'s. 
I hope Octave doesn't drop them.

Regards,

Vic
