What is the effect of your patch? Do I understand correctly that it inserts the drive letter and a colon at the front of the filename?

Is it appropriate to always do this for all calls to delete, or is it something that should be fixed in the function that is calling delete? And exactly which function is that in the case that fails for you?

The glob on windows seems not to work for the path begins from '\'.
For example '\octave-help-r2ciVI'
I have considered the patch to overcome this issue.
It is attached on this comment.
This patch works correctly for my PC (Windows XP).

On octave of the development source , temporary File for help is not deleted at the help (MinGW)

octave.exe:2> help fplot
warning: delete: no such file: \octave-help-36QB6B

Temporary File for help is created octave-help-36QB6B.
The temporary File octave-help-36QB6B remains in the C:\ when Octave is executed on 'C:' drive.

Perhaps this is a windows (not cygwin) specific error.
