Hi
The previous thread made me remember something.
One common complaint about Matlab and Octave is that the help function is not
useful as it could be. One thing I like of Scilab is the apropos keyword.
It searches around all the functions' documentation for one word. For
example, "apropos solve" would raise fsolve, lsode, trisolve, \, ode45...
It's just a proposal because I have no idea about how to implement it :( . A
database? grep?
