OK, thanks.

I'm attaching an expanded script with more options to see what happens 
with different cases (adding main-dir to the path, using a relative name 
for it, cd to main-dir instead of adding it to the path, clearing 
functions after handles are defined).

This time, cd to the top directory after unpacking and execute the 
"doit.m" script.  That will call the "testscript.m" with various 
combinations of options and should create a diary file as a transcript 
of all the action.  Send that to me and I'll see whether I can make some 
sense of it.
