Again, turns out I was mistaken. I wrote code like,
x = dir();
x.name(1)
x.isdir(1)
etc, which werent working. I must have used x(1).name, x(1).isdir etc
which is the correct way, I learnt on seeing dir.m
I used x.name, x.isdir by converting them to lists, and such. Which is
why I had this convoluted way of reasoning it may help.
Sorry for the trouble, and false alarm.
