jwe,

since you are working at error handling at the moment, are you aware
that with current tip, if a command given at the debug prompt causes
an error, it returns to top level, not to the debug prompt?

octave:1> function func ()

> keyboard

octave:2> func
stopped in func at line 2
debug> error ("test")
error: test
error: called from
    func at line 2 column 1

Olaf,

Can you file a bug report about this so it doesn't get lost?  This is just one of many areas that need to be updated now that exceptions are used in the core.  Maybe you can link your issue report to bug #46216 which is another case of exceptions changing existing behavior.
