Details:

I've just installed the Octave 4.2.0 (under WIN 10). I looked through the
octave.pdf, and I found on page 122 an example of the usage of a comma
separated list. After I rewrote the example in the Octave console, I obtained

in documentation:
...
[out{4:6}] = find (in{[1, 2, 4]})
=> out =
{
[1,1] = 1
[2,1] = 9
[3,1] = 90
[4,1] = 1
[3,1] = 1
[4,1] = 10
}
on console:
[out{4:6}] = find (in{[1, 2, 4]})
out =
{
  [1,1] =     1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1
  [2,1] =     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9
  [3,1] =     10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90
  [4,1] =     1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1
  [5,1] =     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9
  [6,1] =     10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90
that seems quite a different result!
It's my first contact with the Octave, so I could be wrong.
Best regards

August
