    _______________________________________________________

Details:

if run is used with path and file e.g.

run('../toBeRunned.m'); 

it never returns to the original working directory due to a bug in run.m line
70:

        if (strcmp (d, pwd ()))
          cd (startdir);
        endif
-verbatim
The path in 'd' contains a tailing file separator '\' while pwd() does not.
Therefore the condition is false, cd(startdir) is not executed.
