Why scan and post answers to threads asking for help, but make the asker feel like an idiot with replies like "READ IT" or "amazingly, just what it says!"??   Clearly MATLAB isn't as easy as you make it out to be if there's a site devoted to answering questions about the product!!!

There is a difference between a lack of empathy and exasperation.  The OP was told exactly what the problem was, by other posters and MATLAB itself.  The fact that the OP wasn't getting this point is why I said, "READ IT."  
You see, this is emphasis is not derision.  When someone doesn't get something, you emphasize the important part for them.
