Re: [QtOctave] how to set seach path

[Wolfgang Lindner]

dear Doug,

great hint: octave 2.9.15/winXP now works wonderful!
Dear Tatsuro, thank you very much for compiling this fine IDE for 
octave/windows users.
It gives much more fun using octave now and it is a very simple procedure to 
get octave running under MS Windows - a fine start in 2008 ;)
PS: the external editor SciTE is installed automatical with the 2 commands Doug 
told us. 

Thank you both
HTH Wolfgang
