It seems I never answered this question; I'm sorry for that (things have been hectic as I have been travelling quite a lot in the last couple of months). I seem to remember that the difference between function types is documented in the manual, but as I can't remember where, I can't provide a reference :-( Anyway, my interpretation is: "Function File": any function implemented in a m-file. "Mapping Function": a function that operates on a per-element basis, i.e. it does the same thing to every element in the input matrix. "Loadable Function": any function that is implemented as an oct-file. "Built-in Function": any function that is an intrinsic part of the interpreter. Of course some functions will fall in multible categories... Personally, I never really appreciated these categories as I don't think they really help the user (which is what documentation should do), but, hey, that's just my opinion :-) Søren P.S.
