Look at load-path.h and load-path.cc.

Thanks for the replies!  Maybe a better question is, how does Octave know where to find the .m files (and other files) that are part of the Octave install.  How do I tell Octave they are somewhere other than normal?  Is it just part of the Octave PATH?  The reason I ask this, is I have Octave working in Android (haven't built all optional dependencies or octave forge packages, but I think that would be easy given where I am at), but to package it as an app for the app market, any resources the program is dependent on have to be installed in a particular way and place, which is different than normal.  I am thinking of just unpacking these all to a directory and telling Octave to look there, if it is that simple.

Thanks,
Corbin
