Thanks, that's exactly the behaviour I wanted! For example, I had a global
variable for the default sample rate (44100 samples/sec.), but I wanted the
user to be able to override it if desired.
By the way, I'm using the pre-compiled binary version for Windows from
Sourceforge (v3.0.3) under Windows XP sp 2, and when I type in 'clear all',
Octave crashes with a message about an invalid memory reference or something
(the dialogue box disappears before I can copy down the message). Has anyone
else noticed this?
David.
