Sir/Madam, Is there an option to disable/remove the lower edge of the command window that holds the start button? I don't ever use this button, nor do I read the messages that appear there (e.g. 'Ready'). I would like to be able to reclaim the screen area it occupies. admittedly, I'm talking about a mere 22 pixels here, but for some reason this bar annoys me. The same holds for the lower 22 pixels of the editor. i would like to disable that too. Regards, Stoichkov

The following works on Matlab 7+ but is undocumented and unsupported and might change in any future Matlab release:
Dear Yair Altman, Thanks a lot for your solution. I added the command to my startup.m. I was not aware that Java-commands could be issued from the Matlab command line. How did you manage to figure this one out? Is there an overview of Matlab Java-commands somewhere on the web? Sincerely, Stoichkov

Plain old detective work, lots of trial-and-error, digging around in Matlab's m-files for hints, common sense, much frustrations etc. - no easy way I'm afraid...

All this is very deep in undocumented territory, I'm afraid. The Matlab-to-Java interface is described here: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_external/f44062.html. However, all the internal Java classes/interfaces of Matlab remain undocumented, as well as the Java-to-Matlab interface. For a reason I don't fully understand, MathWorks elects to downplay the Matlab-Java interoperability. Look around in my Java-related submissions on the File Exchange for some information.
Matlab is really exciting - there's an endless list of undocumented nooks and crannies - Java is just one of these areas (admittedly one of the biggest)...
