Sorry, my bad.

Tried it again today, making sure that I'm not loading any extra packages and guess what? - it works for me too.

Sorry for the noise. I thought I did that before submitting the bug report, but I was obviously too tired.

Thanks for checking.

On my box (WinXP, Octave-3.6.2, both MSVC and MinGW versions):

so "what" does seem to work OK on my Windows box. I have no clue why it doesn't work on yours.
I do see that you copied the example from the MinGW version (..._gcc4.6.2) and that your prompt has been modified (">>>").

Have you tried with the MSVC version?

(Changing status to "Works for me".)

It seems that the WHAT command is not working in recent versions. 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 at least on Windows XP.

To reproduce:

>>> pwd

ans = W:\Development\bsRoughness

>>> dir

. contents.old readveeco.m
.. gaussfiltsurf.m rmsurfshape.m
License.txt makesigfile.m roughness_demo.m
RCS readsomicronic.m surfparest.m
ReadMe.txt readsurfcom.m talymap3d2pro.m
SampleFiles readtalymap3d.m talymap3dgrid.m
autofilterprofile.m readtalymap3d2pro.m verifycutoff.m
contents.m readtencor.m

>>> zzz = what(pwd)

zzz =

scalar structure containing the fields:

path = W:\Development\bsRoughness
m = {}(0x1)
mex = {}(0x1)
oct = {}(0x1)
mat = {}(0x1)
mdl = {}(0x1)
p = {}(0x1)
classes = {}(0x1)
