Re: Problem setting PATH environment

[Jonathan Williams]

Thanks Jordi for your reply.

After I run the ADDPATH command, I can  run PATH and see that the 
additional path has indeed been added.  The problem seems to be that the 
added path is not saved by SAVEPATH, because I find that after I exit 
and relaunch, the PATH has reverted to default.

You ask what the .octaverc looks like, but I am not able to say with 
certainly because there seem to be several copies of .octaverc in 
different directories.  I had assumed (down to my ignorance) that there 
should only be the one in the startup directory, but this has no path 
information.  Should there be different copies, and if so where do I 
find the copy of .octaverc which should contain path information?

Best regards
Jonathan
