Hi David,
Ah! Finally something where i think i can help...
I think Octave is just searching specific places for .m files, the
so-called path.
best/simplest would be to put the file in the directory you started
Octave from (in the shell).
Otherwise look on further info regarding "paths" etc.
regards, P.

Hi. I just installed Octave (on Mac OS X 10.4.1).
I've started going through the manual and trying the various commands.
The manual says that instead of typing functions, loops, assignments,
etc., we can instead type them first into a file, then just type the
name of the file from the command line.
I tried type the name of my text file (named "logisticmap"), but I got
this response:
octave:1> logisticmap
error: `logisticmap' undefined near line 1 column 1
What am I doing wrong? I have this file on my Desktop.
Do I have to put it somewhere else?
Does it have to have an extension at the end of the filename?
I've looked through the manual, but I can't find the answer.
Thanks to anyone who can get this beginner started!
David
