Re: How to change default paths

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

It is possible that .octavetrc remains in your Home directory (folder) and path 
setting might be done
in it.

Please execute the following example

octave:15> tilde_expand('~')
ans = D:\usr\Tatsu
octave:16> dir D:\usr\Tatsu\.octaverc
.octaverc
octave:17> edit D:\usr\Tatsu\.octaverc

If '.octaverc' does not exit, I have no idea at the moment

*tilde_expand('~') reveals the HOME directory is your setting.
According ans = (PATH name), you should modify the above. 

Regards

Tatsuro
