Details:

I use kbhit for user interaction.

For example (cf. attached showcase.m):

a = kbhit()


When I run the script from within octave everything is fine.
But when I run the same script from the terminal by issuing

octave-cli showcase.m

I get the following error: "error: value on right hand side of assignment is
undefined"
