OK, sorry for the long delay. Made a few additional changes:
move the which command to an m-file
eliminate the private directory for now
display location of file in help message as before
append additional help info to print_usage message
misc style changes
more complete changelog entry
and checked it in. The changeset is here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f134925a1cfa
One thing I noticed is that lookfor prints syntax error message if
there are syntax errors in functions in the load-path. I think we
need to find some way to avoid doing that. Can it be done with a
try/catch block or do we need something else?
Is there more to do? I remember some discussion about cache files and
needing to generate those when Octave is installed. Am I remembering
correctly? Can you do that, or explain what needs to be done?
Thanks,
jwe
