* progmodes/octave-inf.el (inferior-octave-has-built-in-variables): New defvar. (inferior-octave-resync-dirs): Check to see whether Octave has built-in variables and set inferior-octave-has-built-in-variables. Check inferior-octave-has-built-in-variables to decide whether to send commands that set built-in variables or call functions to change Octave's behavior. Send "disp (pwd ())" to Octave instead of just "pwd". (inferior-octave-startup): Send "more off" to Octave instead of "page_screen_output = 0".
