Switching to Terminal for Octave GUI output

I'm trying to figure out why, when I have a large output in the GNU Octave version 4.0.3 running on MacOSX ElCapitan GUI - magic(500) for example - and the "-- less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit" prompt comes on screen I have to switch to the terminal to actually execute the command. It's kind of annoying to have to click the terminal just to type "q" so I can continue working in octave-gui after displaying a large output. It would be nice if I didn't have to take up space on my desktop with an open terminal window. I've had the GUI run the command from the command window, but I guess the settings got messed up in some way? Any help on this would be awesome.
