[scilab-Users] How to get the current script directory ?

[Gary Nelson]

I am now more perplexed.
I am trying to develop a DSP system with lots of functions that I identify with exec( ) and that seems to work
but does not apparently leave the functions "open" as files
Are you saying I have to use mopen(function file name)?
Thanks

I agree that this does not look obvious. To check that : open a file in xpad (embedded editor); then in the console: dispfiles()  => The file opened in xpad is not listed.
