Back in July [July, 15, 16, 17th] in response to your request for examples of
using free software for Product Development for HPC, I sent numerous emails,
both with attached examples and plain emails requesting receipt confirmation.
Have heard no responses. Is your email account blocking me? Is HPC legitmate?
Regards,
Robert

A newline is the end of a statement. If you want to end statements in
the same line, you use semicolons or commas. You always use semicolons
if you want to end a statement and not echo its result and commas if
you don't.
Octave is hardly the only language that works this way; bash comes to
mind as another language where you need to write, e.g.
for i in *; do foo $i; done; echo "done"
and if you miss the semicolon after done, it's a syntax error in bash,
similar to Octave.
