How to make MATLAB display error messages in the command line?

I'm using version 8.1.0.604 (R2013a) of MATLAB via SSH and -nodisplay.

My problem is that MATLAB does not display error messages in the command line.

For example, typing "a=3+" and pressing Enter all I get is a new line and prompt.

I wish it behaved like the normal non-command line version, e.g. showed "a=3+ Error: Expression or statement is incomplete or incorrect."

MATLAB does write the above error message in the log file though (as specified by "matlab -nodisplay -logfile filename")
