help installing dsp toolbox on existing MATLAB Version 7.10.0.499 (R2010a) for Mac OS X Version: 10.6.8

Im using a DSP book (DSP using Matlab 3rd Edition) that provides a toolbox called "student dspum matlab toolbox" from their website
The toolbox is needed to follow some of the examples in the book. Without the toolbox some of the script cannot run in matlab
How do I get this toolbox installed correctly on my mac?
What I did so far was copy the downloaded folder "dspum matlab toolbox" to the contents folder of the matlab program where all the other toolbox folders are. But when I type "ver" in matlab I dont see a toolbox named "dspum xxxxxx". So why is the dspum folder in the program content folder under "toolboxes" but not in the program list of available toolboxes via the "ver" command?

Does the instruction say that you will be able to see it using "ver"? This is not a toolbox from MathWorks so I don't think "ver" will show that. I think what you did is correct. You just need to also add path to the dspum directory so that you can call it from command window. You can either use addpath command or do it in the desktop: File menu -> Set Path
doc addpath
