Bill,

I had already considered that, and placed underscores in place of spaces,
where appropriate, in all the directories involved
(/Downloads_and_Updates/octave-forge_packages and /Users/jakoski/octave).

However, that is something to watch on Macs. It has tripped me when making
mpeg movies with the VisIt package from LLNL.

Thanks.

Joe
