Thanks; yes, I have gnuplot and can convert to eps using my printeps 
script submitted a couple of years ago.  octave-forge defaults to using 
grace, which appears to be part of my problem.  I've temporarily 
reverted back to using only gnuplot.

The octave-forge web site says to enter
        command("print")
to enable this type of syntax.  Apparently print is not in my version 
of octave.

I'm working with 2.1.53.  That may be the problem.  The mac fink 
installer has octave-2.1.57 in the unstable branch as well as an 
updated version of octave-forge.  I'll give them a try and see if that 
fixes things.

Thank you both.
