424 The variable @code{EXEC_PATH} is a colon separated list of directories\n\
425 to search when executing subprograms. Its initial value is taken from\n\
426 the environment variable @code{OCTAVE_EXEC_PATH} (if it exists) or\n\
427 @code{PATH}, but that value can be overridden by the command line\n\
428 argument @code{--exec-path PATH}, or by setting the value of\n\
429 @code{EXEC_PATH} in a startup script. If the value of @code{EXEC_PATH}\n\
430 begins (ends) with a colon, the directories\n\

442 (the default value is @file{@value{OCTAVEHOME}}). If you don't specify\n\
