.octaverc files cannot be functions

Thu May 21 16:10:30 CDT 2009

Bug report for Octave 3.0.5 configured for i386-apple-darwin

Description:
-----------

    .octaverc files cannot presently be functions (only scripts).  If the
file is a function, it will not execute.  It is nice to not be working in
the scope of the base workspace, and allow temporary variables to fall out
of scope rather than having to do all the cleanup by hand.

Repeat-By:
---------

    Use the following .octaverc

    function .octaverc
    disp('here');
    end

    "here" will not be displayed.

Fix:
---

    Simply evaluate the .octaverc file (as a script or function) if it
exists.
