octave> grid("minor","on");
does not work.
Is there an update to 3.0.0?

This is not a documented feature of Matlab
Does matlab accept a second argument to the grid function? If so send
a bug report to b...@octave.org where I'm sure this will be fixed. This
wouldn't be the first time that Matlab implements something else than
they document.
In any case the code
set(gca(),'XMinorGrid','on')
will do what you want and has the advantage of being compatible with
Matlab documented API.

A 3.0.1 release has been scheduled for "real soon now" for at least a
month.

Ensuring octave is compatible with matlab is, in my opinion, another
issue.
The issue I have is that the octave grid() command does not operate as
the help says it should:
octave:4> help grid
-- Function File: grid (ARG)
-- Function File: grid ("minor", ARG2)
Force the display of a grid on the plot. The argument may be
either `"on"' or `"off"'. If it is omitted, the current grid
state is toggled.
If ARG is `"minor"' then the minor grid is toggled. When using a
minor grid a second argument ARG2 is allowed, which can be either
`"on"' or `"off"' to explicitly set the state of the minor grid.
See also: plot.
/usr/share/octave/3.0.0/m/plot/grid.m
Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual. Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.
Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at http://www.octave.org and via the he...@octave.org
mailing list.

Thanks! That works!

Ok, then its either a bug in grid or its documentation.. Can you file a
bug report at b...@octave.org

Yes - done.
