- Does anyone else think that it would be _very_ useful if the inbuilt
- matlab functions had some kind of topic help option, something like
- the apropos (or man -k) option in UNIX. On a general basis I run
- matlab without having a manual in front of me (the university only has
- 3 copies so they are very restricted) so when I have no idea what the
- command is but have a good idea what I want it to (and that the
- command exists) its very annoying as I have to wander around the dept
- to find the manual.
-
- Of course knowing my luck this is probably a version 4.0 option.
