The name (which I cand remember right now, ended with .mat The file appeared on my desktop. I then dragged it to another folder on my desktop. Subsequently I could not find it again. I can't figure where it went. I have searced for the vector and matrix names with no result.

!find ~ -type f -name \*.mat -mtime -2 -print
The above should work on either Mac or Linux, provided that the file was put somewhere under your home directory, and provided that the file was modified within the last 2 days.

Unfortunately, only you can tell us where you moved it. Try searching your computer for *.mat
That will search for any mat files on your computer. The file type is MATLAB Data.
