You can start at

  load_fcn_from_file (symbol_record *sym_rec, bool exec_script)

in src/parse.y.

Octave no longer uses kpathsearch as a separate library.  I extracted
all of the functions we needed and put them all in the files

  pathsearch.{h,cc}  kpse.{h,cc} kpse-xfns.{h,c}

in the liboctave subdirectory.  The original kpathsearch library
should have been working on MSDOS/Windows filesystems.  I did not
intentionally break that, but I may have done so by mistake.

| 4. What classes are handling inputs in octave-console?

The functions in src/input.cc.
