executing user defined functions

[Joshua Rajan]

Hi,

I'm new to octave and was am unable to execute functions I write and save in a separate folder. I have:

1. Written functions as per syntax in a txt doc and saved it with a .m extension. The name of the file is the same as the name of the function.

2. Saved these functions in a folder C:\Octave\NAME

3. Added this path using addpath("C:\\Octave\\NAME")

But when I use the function name in the Octave command line, I get a "undefined near ..." error.

How do I resolve this? Am I missing some step?

Thanks-
