[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31080] User scripts or functions created during a session on Windows are not found

[Dennis Cote]

Follow-up Comment #79, bug #31080 (group octave):

I repeated my previous tests using my local build of Octave 10.0.0. The
undefined error did not occur in a the same subdirectory.

I found the warnings from the first dir command a little disturbing, since I
was looking for a file not a directory, but I see the argument is described as
a directory in the documentation.
