I'm using 2.9.3, and having trouble with dbwhere.

I created testdb.m:

function r = testdb(varargin)
         r = dbwhere;
endfunction

but,

octave:1> testdb
error: dbwhere: must be inside of a user function to use dbwhere

Am I using this wrong?  The code I'm working with is using 
"dbstack" to find out where it is and how it was called, because 
certain functions should only be called in certain contexts.
