About that : i find extremely confusing the fact that there is, in 
scilab 5.3, documentation for both old and new scilab APIs, which i can 
still not distinghuish clearly. From my point of view, they are both 
called by a concatenation of "scilab" and "api", and i have the 
impression (which i also believe to be false, but anyway), that some 
pages from the new api are linked to old ones.

E.g : when i type "help api_scilab" i get in a doc page which includes 
"Straight and named access (See the call_scilab API) to variables.". 
Then i go to call_scilab_API, where an example uses stack-c.h and claims 
this is the old way.

At this point, i decided to wait scilab 6.0, hopping it will come with 
documentation about new api and no documentation about old API, to be 
sure to understand what to do and do it.

i am not willing to complain (i really love scilab) i am just trying to 
provide feedback

best regards, avs (and sorry about the spam, maybe this should be a 
whish in bugzilla)
