Hi,
another option: if you want to use something (function,script,data) from 
certain directory, but you would like to stay where you are (e.g. data in 
directory mydir1, function that uses them in mydir2, results expected in 
mydir3 (pwd)), then look at the functions path and addpath (type help path 
or help addpath) (see genpath, too:-)
HTH,
