The FAQ still references LOADPATH. This patch fixes that and fixes a few
typos in dynamic.txi

  Octave takes a long time to find symbols.
  
! Octave is probably spending this time recursively searching directories for
! function files.  Check the value of the internal variable LOADPATH,
! accessible through the Octave fucntion @code{path}.  For those
! elements that end in @samp{//}, do any name a very large directory tree?
! Does it contain directories that have a mixture of files and 
! directories?  In order for the recursive directory searching code to 
! work efficiently, directories that are to be searched recursively should
! have either function files only, or subdirectories only, but not a
! mixture of both.  Check to make sure that Octave's standard set of
! function files is installed this way.

! Octave uses the @code{genpath} function to recursively add directories

! of directories with the @code{path} command. If the path list is very
! long check your use of the @code{genpath} function.

  The major issue is that the help string will typically be longer than a
  single line of text, and so the formatting of long help strings need to
! be taken into account.  There are several manner in which to happen this
