Please read the OOP basics in the manual to learn how to use user
classes. The dict class m-files must be in a directory named @dict and
this must be on your Octave path (or in current directory). If you
install the package using "pkg install", it will do things correctly.
But *don't* cd into the @dict directory, otherwise things will break.
