Hi all,

I, a maintainer of TeXmacs, try to make TeXmacs as sane
as possible before squeeze release.

I noticed recently that if one starts Octave plugin under 
TeXmacs, it displays an error messages as follows:

-----------------
parse error near line 8 of file 
/usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/plugins/octave/octave/.octaverc

  syntax error

>>>    gset terminal postscript eps enhanced color;
                 ^

parse error near line 8 of file 
/usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/plugins/octave/octave/.octaverc

Octave]
-----------------

I don't know if Octave plugin starts or fails to start but anyway
this is very annoying.  
I suspect that TeXmacs plugin for Octave is obsolete but, as
I don't know Octave language at all, so I request a help of Octave
language expert.

ii  octave3.0   1:3.0.5-7+b1   GNU Octave language for numerical computatio
ii  texmacs     1:1.0.7.3-3    WYSIWYG mathematical text editor using TeX f

I attach problematic files mentioned in the above messsages.
If someone finds any fix, I greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,	     	    	    2010-3-10(Wed)
