Maybe I miss something elementary. I do the following.
(Using Xemacs 21.5.32 (GNU emacs is a little nicer with
debugging but anyhow)
In my matlab file, say test.m I start the matlab shell

Then I do in the shell:
>> dbstop test
dbstop test
>> test
test
3   clear all
K>> dbstep
dbstep
4   A=[0 1 -1;-3 4 -1;-1 1 2]
K>> dbquit
dbquit
>> 
So the window is split and  repeating dbstep I see an arrow
advancing in the m file and the result in the shell.

It is not as nice as the emacs   edebug function for lisp,
but it is good enough.
