<h3 class="section">38.2 Using Packages</h3>

<p>By default installed packages are not available from the Octave prompt,
but it is possible to control this using the <code>pkg load</code> and 
<code>pkg unload</code> commands.  The functions from a package can be 
added to the Octave path by typing
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">pkg load package_name
</pre></div>

<p>where <code>package_name</code> is the name of the package to be added
to the path.
</p>
<p>In much the same way a package can be removed from the Octave path by
typing
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">pkg unload package_name
</pre></div>
