Last weekend I have read some parts of the octave-0.77 documentation 
in printed form (from the supplied "ps" file). I encountered some 
oddities that I would like to share.

Section 5.3: "Other built in variables"

   ans:  2^2 + 3^2   = 25 ??????

Section 6.1: "Utility functions"

   fix(x):   fix(fix(real(x)) ?????

Section 7.1: "Basic matrix functions"

   svd(a): "if asked for 3 return value" ??????

Section 11.1: "Functions of one variable"

           "Optional argument sing is a vector of at" ??????

Section 15.3: "Miscellaneous plotting functions"

  xlabel(string): "specify a x and y axis labels" ??????

Section 16: "Input and Output"

           "Turn paging of completely" ??????

Section 16.2.13: "Other I/O functions"

           (awkwardly formatted paragraphs)

Section 17.1: "Special utility matrices"

            "If init is equal to pi ......"
            (shouldn't "base" be in there somewhere?)

Section:      "Command history functions"

             "edit_history 13 169" ????????

Thanks for supplying the documentation now! Turns out that I really 
hadn't used all the powers of octave yet!
