Hello Benjamin.
Thank you for reporting this.
I have forwarded your report to the Matlab maintainers.
Thank you for using Athena.

:)What were you trying to do?
:) Start matlab with a directory to be included in the matlab
:) search path appended to the end of the command line:
:) i.e. "matlab /tmp" or "matlab ./"
:)
:)What's wrong:
:) The matlab wrapper script incorrectly parses the command line.
:) Instead of handing the directories at the end of the command
:) line to matlab to be used in the search path, it uses them as
:) xterm arguments. (Normally you can do "matlab -sb -sl 1500 ./"
:) and the wrapper knows what to do with each part of the command
:) line).
:)
:)What should have happened:
:) Matlab should have started with a scroll bar and the indicated
:) directory in the path.
