You are in error. This never worked.

What will work is the following:

    # test script 
    1;

    function say_hello 
        fprintf('Hello !\n'); 
    endfunction 

    say_hello; 

or this:

    # test script
    function testscript()
        say_hello;
    endfunction

    function say_hello 
        fprintf('Hello !\n'); 
    endfunction 


Octave's parser never did two passes over a script file, only over
function files.
