John,
I suspect that you are still working on the parser, but you
might want to know that the current version no longer handles
ctrl-C as it did before: The following shows the new behavior,
which leaves the system in a non working state after ctrl-C.
First, Octave 3.6.3 to show how it worked before, then current
devel. (The command with unbalanced ( starts the trouble.)
[pbdsl3:nons_test_data] /usr/bin/octave
