There seems to be a bug in `echo` in Matlab when continuations 
(...) are used.  The following code demonstrates this behavior 
when executed as a script:

=================
echo on
a = 1 ... % this is echoed
  + 2;    % this isn't
echo off
=================

The continuation line isn't echoed, which is unexpected.  This 
seems inconsistent with the Matlab documentation for `echo` as I 
understand it.

I've observed this behavior in the following versions of Matlab:
MATLAB Version 5.3.1.29215a (R11.1) on PCWIN
MATLAB Version 5.3.1.29215a (R11.1) on HP700
MATLAB Version 5.3.1.29215a (R11.1) on SOL2

I'm reporting this to The MathWorks, but thought readers of this
group might be interested as well.
