Do I understand it correctly that Octave didn't return to the prompt
after this? Even after hitting ENTER?

Anyway, the problem seems to be that the default name of the Octave
executable file or the path to this file is wrong. It occurs to me now
that I didn't consider the '.exe' postfix of Windows... But for the
case that it is not so simple, could you give me the following
information, still:

- From the Octave prompt, what das 'getenv("OCTAVE_BINDIR")' print out
  (if anything)?

- From the shell, what does  'octave-config -p BINDIR' say? (Maybe you
  must give the path to octave-config.)

- In the directories, if any, printed out by the above, what are the
  filenames of the Octave executables? Is there an 'octave-cli.exe'?

Thanks,

Olaf
