Re: [octave - Help] Executing user-defined functions

The only reply address was address@hidden ... so I'm replying to the help list. 
Perhaps the individual will spot it there?

addpath is the correct function

        addpath ("C:/Octave/abc")

If that doesn't work, what do you get when you try ...

        dir C:
        dir C:/Octave
        dir C:/Octave/abc

If you type the name of a function that does't exist ...

        xoctave:1> foobar
        error: `foobar' undefined near line 1 column 1

I searched the sources, and don't see the error "unable to locate".

Can you show us what you did to produce the error?
