It's completely right when i integrate a plugin in the windows version, i
make the very simple test 1 + 1. The main reasons are i have no idea how
they should work and no left time to dig. So a windows port must be similar
to the linux version.

Concerning the Octave installation, I fetched a true windows package with an
installer : octave-3.6.2-vs2010-setup.exe. I don't remember it was painful to
install. If you make the installation in the standard locations, texmacs must
find it automatically.

I didn't know anything about the plugins author intentions when he wrote it.
But if you want make Octave running with the test cases you gave, you have to
modify the tmrepl.m file located in C:\Program
Files\TeXmacs\plugins\octave\octave\™

function tmrepl()
prompt=sprintf("%cchannel:prompt%coctave> %c",2,5,5);
while ( 1 )
r=input(prompt,'s');
eval(r,"tmlasterr");
endwhile
endfunction


This should give to you :

octave> A = 1 + 2

A = 3
octave> B = [1,2,3]

B =

1 2 3

octave> 5 + 5

ans = 10


I hope this will be convenient.
