Hi

that's because those functions are new to octave 3.4. On the old
versions of octave they weren't shadowing anything. You'll probably
want to use the functions in octave core.

The error about possible matlab short-circuit operator is most likely
a line that uses | instead of ||

The unusable help text is a typo on the help text that should be fixed
(I can look into it next Tuesday if someone doesn't fix it by then).
