I also find that typing "help api_scilab" does not help me at
all right now. And i just understood today (thanks to allan's
mail) that toolboxes is the modern way of doing what i do with
call.</blockquote>
<br>
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.
<br>
</blockquote>
I also had the feeling of turning in circles: I started from one bit
of the new api (CheckLHS) and trying to find an example, after a few
clics, I ended up on something that belong to the old api (call)...<br>

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
</blockquote>
Well, I cannot wait that long as I have some data waiting to be
processed and I need to call some hand made C routine for that
job...<br>

i am not willing to complain (i really love scilab) i am just
trying to provide feedback<br>
</blockquote>
Yes, I hope all this does not sound too negative, this is not the
purpose of the discussion.<br>
I am also really happy with Scilab and I always found the user list
reactive and useful.<br>
But for the first time, I did not have any answer that really helped
me going forward.<br>
Crossing fingers...<br>
