I'm an experienced MATLAB user....and am now trying to get up to speed (about 5 mph) with Octave... 1...I can't get the edit function to work.... I found the DEFAULT_LOADPATH variable and some m-libraries, and can use Notepad to create an m-file function in one of these libraries and this works OK, Octave finds the function when I execute it, but edit(fun) ...where fun is the function name... generates a slew of errors. So, how does one use edit ????? Where should one put m-files, etc. 2. A simple plot has a Line1 and a red line in the upper right corner....can that be omitted ...

1...I can't get the edit function to work.... I found the DEFAULT_LOADP= ATH=20 variable and some m-libraries, and can use Notepad to create an m-file funct= ion=20 in one of these libraries and this works OK, Octave finds the function when=20= I=20 execute it, but edit(fun) ...where fun is the function name... generates a s= lew=20 of errors.  So, how does one use edit ????? Where should one put m-file= s,=20 etc.
 
2.  A simple plot has a Line1 and a red line in the upper right=20 corner....can that be omitted ...
