Software :: Octave (v3.2): Initialize Vector/matrix Without Screen Output

I have recently installed Octave on my desktop and I am very busy with RTFM ATM.However, this manual is huge and I could not find an answer to my problem. What I basically want to do is initialize a vector like

Code:

a=[]
for i 1:100
a = [ a i ]
endfor

Now my problem is that this will call the pager and I have to hit 'q' to get my prompt back. I know I can turn it off but the screen will still get cluttered with tons of output.Is there a way to initialize 'a' quietly without any screen output?
