The status is that I don't want to write a function that won't be 
incorporated into octave so I'm waiting for John to bless the idea of a 
lookfor function, with the understanding that non texinfo help strings 
might cause problems in getting the first sentence for the lookfor function.

Yes write the doc string, one less thing that I'll have to do if John 
accepts the code...

Cheers
