calling functions

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to call a function that I've defined in one
m-file for use in another m file. Does anyone know if the
two files have to be in the same directory before I can do this?

1. Both functions must be on the Matlab path.

2. You can only call the main function defined in another
m-file, not subfunctions of that m-file.

I believe it is, in fact, possible to call a subfunction
from another m-file using function handles. Search the
MATLAB help for "function_handle" (@).
