Re: octave/cygwin: load looks in the root of c drive

Hello,

>I'm using Octave 2.1.71, built for cygwin. When I try to "load" a file
>that is in the same directory as octave, I get an error: "error: load:
>nonexistent file: `test.csv.y'"

I think the first thing to do is to check the present directory on your octave.
Please try the following on octave ( not from cygwin ). 
1. 'pwd'
2. 'cd /cygdrive/c/transfer/octave/stat'
3. 'load test.csv.y'

For next steps, please find and check several 'octaverc' files or '.octaverc' 
for a 
command line, 'cd /cygdrive/c'. Editing those files might help you, I think.
