I just figured out my problem: I needed to place the line
export GNUTERM='aqua'
in my .bash_profile in the home directory. I hope this can
help anyone out there who's having the same problem.

For Mac OSX that should be the default behavior. Perhaps your
installation/setup
includes a "export GNUTERM=x11" somewhere?

Ben,
I'm not sure why my solution came through before my original
message, but here are my replies to your two messages.
I upgraded by downloading Thomas Treichel's Octave binary,
and just dropping it into my applications folder as suggested.
I also checked through my .profile and .bashrc and .bash_profile
files, and didn't spot 'export GNUTERM=x11'in any of them.
I'm a long-term but not-that-proficient unix user, so I have to
do a fair amount of fumbling around on issues like this. Is there
a good "look up details as needed" reference that you recommend?
I'm also wondering if this is something we should discuss off-line
like we're doing, or is it worth putting it on octave-help?
Thanks for your advice & answers,
Norm
