Octave Startup Question

[tallankybstrd]

Hello,

I searched the forums and could not find an answer to my question, so I'm
very
sorry if it has already been answered.  I was wondering whether a certain
functionality was possible in octave. Essentially, I would like to create a
command line option that alters what path(s) octave adds on startup. Here is
ultimately what I am trying to accomplish. I would like a call similar to
this:

  $> octave --math246

to begin octave with the octave command similar to this:

  octave$> addpath('/home/math246/mfiles')

Is something like this possible/plausible?

I would imagine it has something to do with the file octaverc, but I do not
know how I could add some command line option statements. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks.
