    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If the optim package is unloaded, I get

help nlinfit
error: help: The 'nlinfit' function belongs to the statistics package from
Octave

Interestingly, for another function from the optim package I get

help linprog
error: help: Octave does not currently provide linprog.  Linear programming
problems may be solved using 'glpk'.

And this one:

help powell
error: help: 'powell' not found

Quite confusing.
