I wasn't asked, but what I personally like:

* Getting something from the history without losing the current output
in the window.
* Having a short glance at current variables and their sizes
without losing the current output in the window.

It's annoying to be forced to execute a command just to get this
information and flush your screen at the same time, so you have to
scroll up the screen afterwards. I want to view that in parallel, not
serial.

Or is it possible to run a second instance of Octave in a different
xterm but with access to the same session?
