Hallo,
octave-help is not flagged interactive, this triggers an
error on hitting C-c C-h and makes octave-help quite useless.
Please add (interactive) to octave-help header.
Thank you for your work

The symbol "octave-help" appears nowhere in Emacs AFAICS.
Please give a complete recipe starting from emacs -Q that shows the
problem. Include the version number of Emacs (M-x report-emacs-bug would
have included this and more).
On closer look, I see it was removed from Emacs 2011-10-24, so probably
you are using some old version.

Hallo,
this is emacs 23.4.1 as from debian wheezy:
GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)
of 2012-09-08 on trouble, modified by Debian
Reproducing?
emacs -Q
alt-x run-octave
C-c C-h
wrong type argument: commandp, octave-help
In lisp/progmodes/octave-mod.el I read:
(defun octave-help ()
"Get help on Octave symbols from the Octave info files.
Look up symbol in the function, operator and variable indices of the info files."
(let ((info-lookup-mode 'octave-mode))
(call-interactively 'info-lookup-symbol)))
and find several references to octave-help within.

Ah,
transited to emacs-snapshot (24.3.50.1),
octave help works fine.
Thank you
