Details:

If I delete a script file in a script or a function, I have to go back to
prompt to have the symbol table updated. The following test shows the bug:


cd (tempdir ());

## create two files 
id = fopen ("scripta.m", "w+");
fclose (id);
mkdir ("foo");
id = fopen ("foo/scripta.m", "w+");
fclose (id);

addpath (fullfile (tempdir, "foo"));

## delete the first one in the path
file = which ("scripta");
delete (file);
retval = exist ("scripta.m", "file")


retval should be 2 and I see 0 instead. Back in the octave prompt, evaluating 
the last line gives the good result:



>> exist ("scripta.m", "file")
ans =  2
