Put your m-file into C:\programfiles\GNU octave 2.1.73\octave_files. 
That should do the trick. Typing path at the Octave prompt shows you the 
directories known to Octave, i.e. where it searches for files when you 
type a command at the prompt. Your "home" directory, that is where 
everything goes what you code and save into m files, is 
C:\programfiles\GNU octave 2.1.73\octave_files. You can change this 
behaviour, but maybe it is enough for getting started. One last thing: 
Give the manual a try! It is worthwile reading and can be found in you 
Program menu in the Octave folder and on the web:
