Hello
This is Frequently Asked Question but it is not included in the octave FAQ wiki.
Please comment out PS1 setting in
...\Octave\3.2.2_gcc-4.3.0\share\octave\3.2.2\m\startup\octaverc as
#PS1("\\s:\\#:\\w\n> ");
or override it in
...\Octave\3.2.2_gcc-4.3.0\share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc
or in ~\.octaverc for example
PS1('octave:\#>')
The symbol '~' indicates the home directory for octave.
Its fullpath is available by tilde_expand command
octave:1>tilde_expand ('~')
ans = C:\Documents and Settings\Tatsu
You make a file named '.octaverc' in the home directory
(in the example above (C:\Documents and Settings\Tatsu) )
Details and differences of startup files, please consult the octave manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Startup-Files.html#Startup-Files
