As a new octave user, one of the things confusing me is global variables. 1)
Functions have a return list in square brackets, that other functions easily
find. 2) The manual says that global variables must be declared in the
function called, not in the calling program. So be it.

To get my variables to appear at the top octave level, it appears that I
must declare the variables as global both at the top level and in the octave
.m function. Is this true? If it is, then what is the purpose of the return
list in square brackets to the right of the function name?

Thanks.
