Re: Really Long Command Prompt

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

As a temporal (?) treatment, I have described the feature of long command line 
prompt in the
OctaveForWindows wiki.

http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForWindows

********
The feature of the long command line prompt on octave execution screen of this 
binaries is frequently
asked. If you change style of command line prompt, please see the following as 
a example
http://old.nabble.com/Really-Long-Command-Prompt-to27219017.html
*******

This page seems to be not referred frequently. However, the description will be 
helpful to the
repliers. He will just point out the above.

Regards
