I receive the following error messages when running the following scripts using mesh or surf commands with MATLAB Student Version 7.10 (R2010a) installed on a stand-alone PC running Windows XP.

% Script Filename: Prob271.m
x=-1:0.1:3;
y=1:0.1:4;
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
Z=X.*Y.^2./(X.^2+Y.^2);
mesh(X,Y,Z)
xlabel('x'); ylabel('y'); zlabel('z')

??? Error: File: usev6plotapi.m Line: 1 Column: 1
The input character is not valid in MATLAB statements or
expressions.

[v6,args] = usev6plotapi(varargin{:},'-mfilename',mfilename);

Doug,
MatLab comes with a gui.m example (I'm pretty sure) that uses the mesh, peaks, and contour functions. Call guide and open existing gui. If not, check this out
