I have read other threads describing this problem where the solution was to update the octave- inf.el file. I updated this file and I am still having the same freeze problems. I think this has something to do with how my computer runs octave (not with cygwin). My desktop octave icon which starts the octave command window outside of emacs has the target "C:\Program Files\GNU Octave 2.1.73\bin\rxvt.exe" --keysym.0xFF50 '^a' --keysym.0xFF57 '^e' --keysym.0xFFFF '^f^h' -tn linux -title 'GNU Octave 2.1.73' -geometry 80x25 -bg White -fg Black -cr Blue -fn 'Lucida Console-12' -sr -b 5 -e /bin/sh octave.sh I am not familiar with this type of coding but it seems that octave is being run from within rxvt. Does this pose a problem to running octave within emacs? And if so has anyone gotten around this? I have Windows XP, Octave 2.1.73, emacs 22.1.1
