## @deftypefn  {} {} run @var{script}
## @deftypefnx {} {} run ("@var{script}")
## Run @var{script} in the current workspace.
##
## Scripts which reside in directories specified in Octave's load path, and
## which end with the extension @file{.m}, can be run simply by typing
## their name.  For scripts not located on the load path, use @code{run}.
##
## The filename @var{script} can be a bare, fully qualified, or relative
## filename and with or without a file extension.  If no extension is
## specified, Octave will first search for a script with the @file{.m}
## extension before falling back to the script name without an extension.
##
## Implementation Note: If @var{script} includes a path component, then
## @code{run} first changes the working directory to the directory where
## @var{script} is found.  Next, the script is executed.  Finally, @code{run}
## returns to the original working directory @emph{unless} @var{script} has
## specifically changed directories.
