Details:

Hi, I have just installed the recommended binary installer for Octave on my
Windows 10 Laptop, and tested the system with some commands in the command
window,
x=-%pi:0.05:%pi;
plot(x, sin(x)

The last command gives an error message saying that the call to the plot
function is invalid. I found a comment on this in the www jungle saying tha
the system could not find a user-defined plot.m file in my working directory,
which is true of course.I copied the above demo example from somwhere on yhe
Gnu Octave web pages. 
is it so that there is some system-internal plot function that overrides
user-defined functions, if so, how do I make a call to one of these
functions?

Regards,
TG
