Hello.
In response to your bug report, we've modified the Matlab 5.2 (default
version) wrapper script to process directory_list arguments from the
command line; the change will take effect overnight. Note that
directories you specify on the command line will now be prepended
rather than appended to the path. (If for some reason you want
dirs. you specify to be at the end of the search path rather than the
head, you can use a matlab command such as "addpath /tmp -end".)
For the record, this appears to be a local feature originally added
several versions back, when it wasn't so easy for users to modify the
search path; we'll try to keep it around in future if people find it
useful.
Regards,
Abby Fox
