The attached patch also adds help for options that the help command does not actually support. Perhaps another intermediate patch is missing.

In any event, no followup from the reporter in over 16 months, closing report. The original patch was applied. Feel free to reopen or attach an updated patch that applies to the current source and does not document nonexistent options.

The help_expand.diff patch is based on revision 818aa1ff0ad4, which isn't in the Savannah repository. I tried applying it anyway, but it doesn't apply cleanly at 0464e3ceb85b. Can you please rebase it to 0464e3ceb85b? Do

You may have to resolve merge conflicts when doing this. See here for more about enabling and using the rebase extension:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RebaseExtension

Alternatively, host your clone somewhere public (e.g. http://bitbucket.org) and tell me which revision to pull, and I can deal with the trouble of rebasing or merging.

Lastly, in the future, avoid submitting further patches to a closed bug or issue. Instead, open a new issue in the bug or patch tracker.

Thanks, I have rebased your patch and pushed it:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/graph/ae42d5a67ed9

If you wish, you may now discard the original patch (6cd50e02ffb9592dd) from your local repository (e.g. with hg strip).

Matlab command 'help . ' , that is help + dot, lists a detailed list of operators (logical, relational etc.)

I use Octave version 3.6.1 , and it responds to this command with an error message.

PS
I am going to create a patch to fix it.
