Re: Keyboard input while a plot is visible

[Joshua Rigler]

A little off-topic, but while I have never run Octave in Windows, I 
would probably never use Windows at all if the TweakUI utility didn't 
exist.  Do a web search on "TweakUI Powertoy", and you should find a 
link to download this small package quickly enough.

Once it is installed, pay particular attention to the "Xmouse" feature; 
it will give you almost "Linux-like" mouse capabilities in Windows.
