Many thanks John.

I can't see any obvious evidence of using the 3.0.0. tree, here's the output
from your suggestion:

==================================================================
address@hidden ~]# cd ~ 
address@hidden ~]# octave 
GNU Octave, version 3.0.3 
Copyright (C) 2008 John W. Eaton and others. 

Preamble removed for
clarity........................................................

octave:1> which plot 
plot is the user-defined function from the file 
/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.3/m/plot/plot.m 
octave:2> path 
 
Octave's search path contains the following directories: 
/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.3/m/testfun
/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.3/m/control/base 
.
ETC (all pointing to the 3.0.3 tree)
.
/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.3/m/plot
.
ETC (all pointing to the 3.0.3 tree)
. 
 
octave:3> get (gca,"colororder") 
warning: get: invalid property `colororder' 
octave:4>  
=============================================================

On your question of my .octaverc file well interestingly there is no such
file on my system so am using the default environment I guess.
