Re: Momentary appearence of graphic window in Octave 3.0.1-vs2008

[Michael Goffioul]

The problem you have is that by hitting F5 in SciTE, a new octave
session is started and the script is run; when the script ends, octave
quits, closing all figure windows. I suggest you run your script
from octave prompt instead.
