A lot of packages I download from web includes folders that have "@" in front of their names. What does it mean? Thanks.

Hi Michael,
That is one mechanism for organizing class folders. Folders that begin with "@" are not on the MATLAB path, but their parent folders are. The typical use of @ is when you want to use multiple files for one class definition. The name of the class has to match the name of the folder without the @.
