I can't really say why your new Matlab installation is behaving differently, but it seems like the Mathworks have switched up the links, "cd" will change to a directory, and "addpath" will temporarily add a folder to the list of known paths from which to find scripts

Opps! It was I that "switched up the links" in my description of what happens :-( ... they get it right.

(Matlab can only run scripts from either the current directory or the ones on the Matlab search paths which can be seen by using the "pathtool" command).

... which I understand ... I just wondered how MATLAB knew the correct path even though it was not listed in the path list.

Oh well... we'll see what MATLAB says...

Kind regards,
