qthandles with octave 3.7.7 cli

[Werner Koenig]

Hallo List,

after I have installed octave  3.7.7 and qthandles, i made first 
experience with qthandles.
It works fine with octave-gui 3.7.7, but now I want to use it in 
octave-cli 3.7.7, but the prompt
to command graphics_toolkit qt is

error: __init_qt__: QApplication object must exist.

Any hints to use qthandles in octave-cli 3.7.7 ?

So long Werner
