Documentation for Other Products
The Help browser provides access to documentation for all products installed on your system. To view the online documentation for all MathWorks products, use the MathWorks Web site at http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/helpdesk.shtml.
Product-Specific Help Features
In addition to the Help browser and help functions, some products and tools allow other methods for getting help. You will encounter some methods in the course of using a product, such as entries in the Help menu, Help buttons in dialog boxes, and selecting Help from a context menu. These methods all display context-sensitive help. Other methods for getting help, such as pressing the F1 key, are described in the documentation for the product or tool that uses the method.
You can download M-files contributed by users and developers of MATLAB, Simulink, and related products from MATLAB Central. Before you write an M-file yourself, especially if it seems to be a generic utility, check the list of contributed files to see if someone has already written it. These files are freely contributed and can be used without charge by anyone who downloads them. To view the files available to download, go to the MATLAB Central File Exchange page on the MathWorks Web site, http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/index.jsp. You can access this from any desktop component via Help -> Web Resources.
If you write M-files that you think would be of use to others, consider submitting them to the MATLAB Central File Exchange via the Web page.
