Sean-
It seems to be working here:

Good luck; let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

According to Sean O'Connell (March 20, 2000):
| Hi All-
|
| I was curious if anyone has managed to get the Matlab helpdesk
| function to work under emulation without creating /compat/linux/tmp
| directory. I know this to not be a "good thing", but neither is
| having beaucoup users asking why the help facility doesn't work :)
|
| Does Matlab 5.3.1 solve this at all? This feature works just fine
| under Matlab 5.2.
|
| Russell Murphy brought this up in an eamil in early June of 1999,
| but I haven't heard anything of it since then.
|
| Thanks for any insights.
