I have octave-forge on the desktop and below last item of LOADPATH
includes
the path for octave to find m files in octave forge. There is also a
DEFAULT_LOADPATH which must have been created when I installed
octave 2.1.46
some time ago using Fink. When I use the function file 'path.m'
without an
argument then my LOADPATH is displayed in an easy to read format.
However,
the DEFAULT_LOADPATH are not included which I don't understand.
path.m can
also be used to modify the LOADPATH but I don't know how it works
because
the instructions don't give an example. I used .octaverc and a text
editor
to enter what I needed.

Hi. I just installed Octave (on Mac OS X 10.4.1).
I've started going through the manual and trying the various
commands.
The manual says that instead of typing functions, loops, assignments,
etc., we can instead type them first into a file, then just type the
name of the file from the command line.
I tried type the name of my text file (named "logisticmap"), but I
got this response:
octave:1> logisticmap
error: `logisticmap' undefined near line 1 column 1
What am I doing wrong? I have this file on my Desktop.
Do I have to put it somewhere else?
Does it have to have an extension at the end of the filename?
I've looked through the manual, but I can't find the answer.
Thanks to anyone who can get this beginner started!
