I wrote that a long time ago, but my vague recollection is that the newline was 
needed to make the subprocess execute the command.  Is it adding a 2nd newline 
to the end of ‘command’ resulting in the spare line?

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Removing extra lines from collect-command-output

Hello,
I've noticed that calling 'matlab-shell-collect-command-output' can result in 
extra new lines being sent to the *MATLAB* buffer which aren't deleted. When 
using company-mode to complete text this behavior is pretty annoying since as 
I'm typing lines are being inserted above the prompt. I believe that the cause 
of this is the line:
(comint-simple-send (get-buffer-process (current-buffer))
              (concat command "\n"))
The newline added to the end of the command causes an extra line to be printed 
since it's interpreted as execute 'command' and then send a newline. Removing 
the newline fixes the problem.
This seems like a suspiciously simple fix so I'm wondering why the newline was 
being appended to the command.
Thanks,
Nate
