Octave by default uses the "more" command to page results. It is possible to type "more off" to stop that in the current session. How can I stop it permanently without passing that command to Octave? (I want something like option, editing file, environment variable,...)

The answer is given in the documentation about startup files and the more command. You just need to run more off on startup. To do this you can create the file .octaverc (the dot is important) in your home directory (~/.octaverc) and add the more off command to it. Now Octave should always start with more switched off.

(There's also the file /usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc if you have more than one user on the computer who want this configuration.)
