help with debug_on_error

[SITI HAJAR A BAKAR]

Hello all!
I need some advice on debugging particularly debug_on_error. How do I 
actually leave the
debug>   prompt to go back to octave>
I have to type exit a gazillion times (if I'm lucky) before I get the 
octave prompt again if at all. Is this the way its done??? Thank you so 
much

Regards
Siti Hajar Bakar
