Hi Richard. It would be best if you could submit this to our bug tracker

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=octave

I remembered this request but did not see a bug for it, so I made sure
to find your message and follow up with you. If it doesn't get added to
the tracker it will be forgotten.

Thanks,
