Re: Static Variables (was: issue with user preferences)

[Quentin Spencer]

For what it's worth, I believe the Matlab variable type "persistent" is 
equivalent to a static variable (calling it "static" would have been too 
easy for them). I first used this about a year ago when working for an 
employer who insisted on Matlab (version 6 I believe). If someone can 
verify that this is in fact identical to a "static" in Octave, it 
shouldn't be difficult to add.
