Scilab 5.1.1, Help System and %helps

[Dave Comer]

Hello,

I am working my way through the Scilab help file system with the goal 
of adding my own toolbox, help system. I noticed in the Scilab manual 
that there is suposed to be a variable %helps, which according to the 
manual is supposed to be loaded by scilab.start. However, in 5.1.1 
there is no such reference to %helps in scilab.start, and there is 
not global variable %helps listed in whos. Is this an obsolete 
concept? If so, how does one add help to the help file path?

Thanks,

Dave Comer
