[Scilab-users] problems with script execution from SciNotes

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hi Jeff,

This sounds mysterious...

I have copied your example in a file and it works perfectly (with or 
without echo). I'm under Linux.

What's strange is that the command works inside your stripped version 
of uicontrol.dem.sce and not in your file. So it's not a graphic problem 
or a syntax error.

Do you use blank characters in your filename?
What happen if you put some printf statement? They should appear on the 
console.

Last idea: try to execute your file form the console with 
exec(<filename>)

HTH,
Mathieu
