[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Bug report (patch): matlab.el: previous command at shell prompt fix

[Mark H. <mh...@gm...>]

Hi,

Using the latest CVS matlab.el, and Matlab 2011a, pressing M-p or the up arrow does not recall previous history.  
Status line shows "History item 1", but the previous command gets inserted before the ">>" prompt and pressing RET gives an error like "Unknown operator >>" from Matlab.

This patch fixes it.  But it is unlikely to be the best solution.

Best
Mark
