[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #36710 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #1:

On my box (WinXP, Octave-3.6.2, both MSVC and MinGW versions):


octave:3> pwd
ans = C:\Home\Philip\mydocs\octave
octave:4> zzz = what (pwd)
zzz =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    path = C:\Home\Philip\mydocs\octave
    m =
    {
      [1,1] = __strread.m
      [1,2] = mfl.m
      [1,3] = newfile.m
      [1,4] = pkg_dir.m
      [1,5] = pkg_info.m
      [1,6] = setup_getij.m
      [1,7] = strread.m
    }
    mex = {}(0x1)
    oct = {}(0x1)
    mat =
    {
      [1,1] = H_Divers_Oost_div_20110103.mat
      [1,2] = H_Handpeiling_2011_0113.mat
    }
    mdl = {}(0x1)
    p = {}(0x1)
    classes = {}(0x1)

## ....Searching for other examples....

octave:8> cd X:\Philip\ASTRdwdsn\Uitgangssituatie
octave:9> pwd
ans = X:\Philip\ASTRdwdsn\Uitgangssituatie
octave:10> zzz = what (pwd)
zzz =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    path = X:\Philip\ASTRdwdsn\Uitgangssituatie
    m =
    {
      [1,1] = mf_adapt.m
      [1,2] = mf_analyze.m
    }
    mex = {}(0x1)
    oct = {}(0x1)
    mat =
    {
      [1,1] = AWD_XSec.mat
      [1,2] = extracted.mat
      [1,3] = name.mat
    }
    mdl = {}(0x1)
    p = {}(0x1)
    classes = {}(0x1)

octave:11>

## Yet another example...:

octave:15> cd
X:\Octave\octave-3.4.2dbg4.2dbg\lib\octave\packages\windows-1.0.8\i686-pc-mingw32-api-v45+
octave:16> zzz = what (pwd)
zzz =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    path =
X:\Octave\octave-3.4.2dbg\lib\octave\packages\windows-1.0.8\i686-pc-mingw32-api-v45+
    m = {}(0x1)
    mex = {}(0x1)
    oct =
    {
      [1,1] = __COM__.oct
      [1,2] = grab.oct
      [1,3] = win32api.oct
    }
    mat = {}(0x1)
    mdl = {}(0x1)
    p = {}(0x1)
    classes = {}(0x1)



so "what" does seem to work OK on my Windows box. I have no clue why it
doesn't work on yours. 
I do see that you copied the example from the MinGW version (..._gcc4.6.2) and
that your prompt has been modified (">>>").

Have you tried with the MSVC version?

(Changing status to "Works for me".)
