Restatement of Initialization lines

[Mad_Scientist]

I just installed GNU Octave 3.2.0 on my windows machine.  When i select the octave program it loads up  but each time i enter a line it comes up with this:

Octave-3.2.0.exe:1:.......(this ...... is the location of the a bin file for 3.2.0_gcc-4.3.0)
>a=1
a = 1
Octave-3.2.0.exe:1:.......
>b=2
b = 2
Octave-3.2.0.exe:2:.......
>c=a+b
c = 3
Octave-3.2.0.exe:3:.......
>

how do i get it such that the Octave-3.2.0.exe:1:....... doesn't keep coming up"

Thanks!

create a file ".octaverc" in your home drive (determined by either the
environment variable HOME or the environment variables HOMEDRIVE and
HOMEPATH).

This file will be read and executed once octave starts up, so put your
PS1 configuration there.
