Thanks Andy, "more off" did the trick. I will change the "octaverc" file.

I think typing "more off" before running your script may be the solution.

If you prefer this, and want it to happen all the time, then create a
.octaverc (rc means run control) file with a "more off" line in. The
.octaverc can be put a few places, I prefer "%homepath%\.octaverc"
