Re: Octave for WXP, interaction with editor

[Sarah Kendrew]

Thanks, I think this is the problem, was just reading in the manual too
that functions in Octave's own root directories aren't checked for time
stamps. I've moved my .m files to a new directory, which I understand I
need to declare in the variable LOADPATH.

So - if my new directory is called c:\octave, do I just type:

LOADPATH = 'c:\octave'

and should that take effect immediately?

Cheers
Sarah
