| Ok, so it appears when "a*b" is present a "\n" is missing?

Here is what I see:

  octave:1> function fubar (varargin)

  octave:2> a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4;
  octave:3> fubar (a, b, a*b, c, d)
  a
  b
  a * b
  c
  d
  ans = char
  ans =

     5   5

  ans =

      97     0     0     0     0
      98     0     0     0     0
      97    32    42    32    98
      99     0     0     0     0
     100     0     0     0     0


That seems to be working the way I would expect.
