Replying to the questions:
1. About re-activating the "editor", I have tried from the menu: "Window/Show Editor" and "Window/Editor (Ctrl+4)" and the editor does not re-appear. All other windows re-appear normally if close them down. What I mean by closing the tab of the editor is a) closing all the open files in the editor and b) closing the editor window itself also, leaving open alone the command and documentation-windows (having closed also the rest of the windows: workspace, command-history, file-browser, etc).
2. About the file "built-in-docstrings", I search with the command:
find / -name "built-in-docstrings"
and it finds only a file for octave 3.8.2 which have also installed (from rpm). I am sure though that after installation I got a glimpse of the help menu (different from the incorrect one that shows now) and afterwards it disappeared. Looking in my notes, I noticed that had installed octave-rc3 from the source with:
a) ./configure --without-curl --disable-docs
based on a web link suggestion with which I solved the configure error that I was getting with "./configure":
configure: error: A BLAS library was detected but found incompatible with your Fortran 77 compiler settings.
b) make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=
c) make install
Probably the configure option "--disable-docs" is the reason for the missing help.
3. About the "a" in the command-line, surprisingly it does not complain for "undefined". I tried "b" and other letters and it complains. Otherwise Octave is working without problems (please see attached image "command_window_01may15.png").
About the "clc" that does not work, I did not use "--disable-readline" in the ./configure, and "--enable-readline" is on by default (see bug #29804).
