you guys must be correct (and my memory is not).  i don't have MATLAB on this 
linux machine here at work, but i found this web page:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MATLAB_Programming/Introduction_to_array_operation

that says:
  ...
  You can also access a matrix element through a unique
  index; in this case, the order is column major, meaning
  you first go through all elements of the first column,
  then the 2d column, etc... The column major mode is the
  same than in Fortran, and the contrary of the order in
  the C language.
  
  >> a = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6];
  >> a(3)
  
  ans =
  
      2


my mistake.  i will rewire that neuron.

but i still do not think it affects the issue at hand.
