Yes, I am trying to open an existing m-file that I previously made in
Matlab. Typing edit, or clicking on the "Script" button causes no response.
I also do not see any errors at the command prompt within the Octave GUI. I
am using Ubuntu 12.04 with the XFCE window manager.

Out of interest sake, if you click on the "new" file button on the editor, does it display a new file window? I am wondering whether QScintilla was enabled?
