Do you know of any better way to make my changes "kick in"? Hi Yair,

It seems that after doign this, I need to re-start MATLAB before the changes take effect. Do you know of any better way to make my changes “kick in”?

However, I would like each of them to save to a different command window history file. Is there a good safe way to do this?Thanks! All the best, Shaul Hi Yair,
