This is very helpful.  But I'm not likely to go scouring the Octave 
installation looking for files to copy every time I write a program.  What I 
did was modify my program to do this:

function [resultString] = example2(inString)
    resultString = path;
end

When I run my stand-alone program under Linux, I get the full Octave path, 
identical to what I get when I run it from the Octave console.  When I run 
it under MinGW/MSYS, I get only ".".  So now my question is, how do I get 
Octave to know the full search path under MinGW/MSYS, as it does under Linux?
