I am afraid I did not explain this well enough.

I don't want to set a path.

Rationale:

I have to correct a bunch of .m files of my students which they wrote in
an exam. Although I tell them to add their familiar name to each file,
some of them forget that and I end up with files like examn.m

So if I set paths I could never be sure which file I execute.

However I found two solutions to my problem:

    -  I just boldly used the function from Xemacs dired.el

    -  even better the variable  matlab-change-current-directory which I
       had set to t in Xemacs and nil in GNU emacs solves completely my problem.

@Eric: I obtainted that variable from a patch I found in the matlab
newsgroup.
It is applied to main I trust?
