I am also a octave-newbie and I miss the same feature. I think that
gnuplot is able to do interactive zooming. If I do the following, I have
interactive zooming using the right mouse button:

~$ gnuplot
gnuplot> a=0.25
gnuplot> f(x)=sin(x)*a
gnuplot> plot f(x)


But with something similar in octave, I have a Gnuplot-Window, but no
interactive zooming:

~$ octave
octave:1> x=1:10;
octave:2> plot(x)


I have the feeling that the interface between octave and gnuplot has to
be configured in the right way, but I have no idea how to do this. Any
suggestions?

Thank you for every comment
