It seems the Wiki is a good place for this sort of thing ... I haven't been 
around lately so I don't know if that's been discussed much.  In particular I 
just tried to make a change and editting was denied.  By IP it seems.  Wouldn't 
it make more sense to just have a password, and post that here?  Then I could 
change where it says:

   * For a logical-or, Octave can use `|' or `||'; Matlab requires `|'. (note: Octave's 
'||' and '&&' return a scalar, '|' and '&' return matrices)

(found on http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?MatlabOctaveCompatibility)

to this:

   * In Octave, the '|' operator does not shortcut, while '||' does; this is the same as 
the behavior in C.  In Matlab, both the '|' and the '||' operators shortcut.  Thus an 
expression like "f(a) | g(b)" will cause both f() and g() to run in Octave, but 
in Matlab g() won't run if f(a) returns true.

That old description is just wrong.  Not sure about the note.
