[OS X Emacs] running in octave inferior mode

[Joachim Schmidtke]

Dear Pete,
I re-launched Aquamacs after the change.

"which octave" shows: /opt/local/bin/octave

"echo $Path" shows:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin
:/usr/X11/bin:/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin

Best regards
Jochen
