Actually, I think that having a link to the corresponding Matlab
documentation from within the Octave documentation itself would be a
big help. The single researcher who I introduced Matlab to (mostly the
reason that I'm on this list) I know for a fact uses Matlab
documentation with Octave. This would save her that much effort (just
a little) and frustration (from what I gather, a lot).
