Details:

Hello.

I have recently installed Octave version 3.2.4. on Windows 8, 64 bit laptop.

My 'help' function is not working in Octave. Whenever I try to find help for a
particular function, it gives an error. For example, I tried:

help plot or help pinv

The same error occurred in both the commands:

"error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined 

error: called from: 

error: C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\3.2.4\m\help__makeinfo__.m at
line 148, column 7 

error: C:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\3.2.4\m\help\help.m at line 62,
column 25  "

I uninstalled the program and installed it again. Still the same problem
persists.
Moreover the path command also doesn't do anything.

Please find attached snapshots.
