It lets you check which of them are loaded in your current session. I think it also has something to do with network licenses, but it's been a long time since I've used those, so I don't remember the details. Obviously this is all irrelevant for Octave. I don't think it needs to return anything for these options--just make sure it doesn't cause an error in case someone used it in a script (I'm not sure why you would, though). -Quentin ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
