Some parts of the tutorials use CTF specific applications. That is
commercial software only available to CTF MEG users. However, you can
skip those parts of the tutorial. Furthermore, I think that there is
a tutorial that refers to MRIcro, you can get that here: http://

you can copy and paste all matlab instructions from the pdf into the
matlab command line window. I will also make the demo scripts
available for download on the website, but I won't be able to do that
immediately.

Are you at the right location with Matlab? I.e., if you type "pwd",
does that correspond with the directory where Subject01.ds is located?
