Is there someplace where the Windows specific directories / folders are described? I have been looking for info on the correct place to put the startup commands which on Linux / Unix systems go into .octave. By trial and error I have found that the file .octaverc is read and executed on startup on WinXP when placed directly at Documents and Settings\Username though there is a empty folder named octave at this location. Further, it is impossible to create a file named .octaverc through Win Explorer. I created a file octaverc using the GUI and subsequently renamed it to .octaverc using the command-line.
To my knowledge there no such place but the mail archives where you can probably get all the information you need. There's not much difference though to the described *nix way. The function edit looks for a folder named octave in your %USERPROFILE% (to find out what the system variable %USERPROFILE% contains, open a command window and type echo %USERPROFILE%) and creates it if it doesn't exist. That's the place where all your user-defined functions go by default. Put your .cotaverc into the same folder (that's %USERPROFILE%, not %USERPROFILE%\octave !) in which you can then change the default path to save your user-defined functions, e.g.:
mypath = "D:\myOctavefcns"; addpath(genpath(mypath)) HTH, Michael
