Details:

I am new to octave and matlab (never use matlab) but am running some matlab
code.

I could find no search function in Savannah bugs so this could easily be a
duplicate.  

A bit of googling (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-428496.html)
suggests that this is expected behaviour.  But I read the beginnings of the
plot documentation in the info manual and it is not mentioned and it runs fine
from the debugger (in Emacs).

The contents of the script are:

plot(1:100)


If I submit the line using C-c TAB C-l it produces a plot

If I run the script (called test.m) there is no plot produced.
