right, sorry I hadn't actually run this...
Instead of editing diary from within Octave I'd open the diary file
with
an editor as notepad.exe or - even better - Scite using the Windows
Explorer context menue "Open with..."-command.
yes, but that would require navigating with explorer to octave's
current work directory, which, according to my experience with
students, is not a trivial task for those windows users who are not
familiar with the command shell...
alternatively I think one can:
1) save the diary file with a different name:
>> diary session_log.txt
>> diary off
>> edit session_log.txt
2) tell edit to look for the file in the current directory
>> diary on
>> diary off
>> edit .\diary
again I don't have access to a widows box right now so you should try
it out first,
anyway it works on unix....
HTH, Michael
