After all even bug 2514 is not completely fixed. Test case:

1. Open Scilab 5.
2. Open Scipad
3. type debug(-1) in the Scilab console (just so that you can see what's
happening)
4. In Scipad type anything having a help file, say the word function
5. Place the cursor in Scipad somewhere inside the word function
6. Hit Ctrl-F1

This launches a ScilabEval command having "help ""function""" as string, and
with no option.

In the shell you can see:

 TCL_EvalScilabCmd help "fu
     (end) nction"


-->

Note that the help widget doesn't open at this stage.

7. Now hit enter in the Scilab shell.

The following gets displayed:

   Unqueuing help "functio
     (end) n" - No option


-->

and the help widget opens at last.

Conclusion: you still have to fiddle in the Scilab hell in order to have the Tcl
commands get executed.
