Yes, I picked the wrong version. I removed signal-oct305 and installed
signal-oct363. However, functions such as "chirp" and "window" are still
coming up as undefined.

But as a test I tried another package, audio-oct363, and it is working.
Functions such as "sound" and "soundsc" are recognized and bring up the
expected usage guide. Any thoughts as to why the audio package would work
but not the signal one?
