[Scilab-users] example of library

[Federico Miyara]

Stéphane,

Thanks for your answer.

I'll try, as soon as I can, to see if I'm able to go into the GIT world, 
but it may take much more time than your second option.

So my next question is, how do I find the files to modify?

Should I download the source code?

And--this is embarrassing--I cannot track back what help page my own 
correction,

http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16250

refers to, and as the bug is a very unspecific typo I cannot recall it.

Thank you very much for your patience!

Regards,

Federico Miyara
