Cut and paste seems to work on linux (at least on my machine).  If it
is an issue with the
deficient Windows rterminal, you can try to write an m- file and
execute it instead of entering
it iinteeractively.
Also with TeX you should do single quotes and no "$" signs:
title('\deg ',"interpreter","tex")

should work (it soes on my machine).
