Re: Matlab menu-driven code - problem

[Lester Anderson]

Thanks Mike for the pointers and information. I will have to park this code for now until the "bug" is finally fixed.

Good to know I have been going through the procedure correct.

Cheers guys

No, you are running the correct commands and you get no menus, which
matches the bug report I suggested you read. As I explained before:

I'll try to restate what I said. There were one or more bugs present
in all of the 3.6.x releases. You are not seeing any menus, which
confirms that that bug is indeed present in your version of Octave.
You are doing the right thing, but it will not work for you with your
version of Octave.

I know your goal is just to get a working uimenu. Unfortunately, there
isn't much (that I know of) that you can do with the 3.6.4 version of
Octave you are using. If you want to get a working uimenu, you can
either build the development version of Octave (not yet released) or
wait for the 3.8.0 release which has not yet happened.
