RE: Problem entering functions

[George, Michael David]

I've downloaded the file but I'm not sure where it should be put so that the 
pkg install command will run it. I tried the general folder for Octave but it 
won't load. Any help? thanks!

Depending on the system you're using, there may be more convenient
instructions for obtaining the control package. For Windows and most
GNU distributions, pre-compiled packages for Octave-Forge already
exist. You should attempt to use those before you attempt to compile
the package from source.
