First problem:  HOW to set the path to locate data files and the octave 
equivalent of Matlab m-file?  Have tried every combination I can think of, 
including verbatim reproduction of the   ADDPATH command in the Manual...... 
nothing works.  So far I can't get off square 1.

Help please?

Does this:

"
octave:1> help addpath
`addpath' is a built-in function

 -- Built-in Function:  addpath (DIR1, ...)
 -- Built-in Function:  addpath (DIR1, ..., OPTION)
     Add DIR1, ... to the current function search path.  If OPTION is
     "-begin" or 0 (the default), prepend the directory name to the
     current path.  If OPTION is "-end" or 1, append the directory name
     to the current path.  Directories added to the path must exist.

     In addition to accepting individual directory arguments, lists of
     directory names separated by `pathsep' are also accepted.  For
     example:

          addpath ("dir1:/dir2:~/dir3");

     See also: path, rmpath, genpath, pathdef, savepath, pathsep



Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual.  Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.

Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at http://www.octave.org and via the address@hidden
