The problem is probably that Octave's parser is trying to allow things
like

  help = 1.234567;

to work, but it is not doing a complete job.  For now, you might try

  help + =

or some other combination that avoids placing `=' as the first token
after `help'.

BTW, please report bugs to the bug-octave mailing list.

Thanks,
