How do I change working directory (under Windows)?

[cjzarowski]

Yesterday I installed GNU Octave 2.1.73 from sourceforge.

 

I am running it under Windows XP.

 

It seems to run OK, but I cannot figure out how to

change the working directory. Presently, the system

insists on looking for my own script/function files

under

 

   C:\Program Files\GNU Octave 2.1.73\octave_files

 

Of course, it also insists on saving things to this

location.

 

Playing around with LOADPATH and DEFAULT_PATH

has proven to be ineffective. It is not even clear to me

from the online manual that these are relevant to my

problem.

 

What do I do ?

 

 

 

Thanks,
