mapping a scalar function over an array

[Giulio Bottazzi]

Dear Octave users,
I've not found in the Octave manual (probably for my stupidity) a way of
"mapping" a scalar function over an array. What I mean is: given a function
defined for a (truly) scalar argument, for instance

function foo(x)
        .
        .
        integrate a given function between 0 and x 
        .
endfunction

and an array 

A=[a1,...,aN],

is there a way to obtain the array of results

B=[foo(a1),...,foo(aN)] 

with a single simple command? Something like: Map(foo,A)? ( this is approx. the
syntax I use on Mathematica).

Please, point me to the correct place in the manual if the answer is there and
forgive me for my silliness.

Thank you,
                        G.B.
