I'm using Octave 3.6.4 on Windows 10. All appears to be working ok, except there's no command prompt.

I know that you can Customize the prompt using PS1, but that still leaves it blank.

Here's a screenshot:

After quite a few unsuccessful searches, a search for 'octave windows show prompt', turned up this YouTube video on a Windows 10/8 crash fix that suggests starting Octave with the following command:

C:\> octave -i --line-editing

That indeed gives me the following command prompt:

octave:1>

For more information this is the help info on those options:

--interactive, -i       Force interactive behavior.
--line-editing          Force readline use for command-line editing.
