"clear" does not remove the file from disk, it removes the file from
octave memory: if it's a m-file, the associated evaluation tree will be
discarded, if it's an oct-file, the oct-file will be unloaded. Of course, if
you call it again, it will be loaded again.

Is it possible that the case is important here? Does
"Hello" (instead of "hello") at octave prompt works?
