Always make reply all and include the mailing list. Also, avoid top

The best should be the manul though I think it could be improved

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Demonstration-Functions.html#Demonstration-Functions

See other code for examples (by convention, demos are placed at the
end of the function file):

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/default/scripts/plot/plot.m
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/default/scripts/general/interp2.m
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/default/scripts/strings/strtok.m

This functins will have a micture of both demo and test blocks. Test
blocks are also very important as it allows you to find problems
during development much faster.
