I'm not sure what the intent is here, or where the code is, but I guess there is always the possibility that sometimes, you will want to search the entire path for a function, even if you already know where it is. It would probably be a good idea though, to have a feature that allowed such searching to be turned off, for "production" installations where everything is already installed right and you know that nothing is going to change during a run. Then it could just cache the locations of all functions at startup time and be done with it. ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
