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.
