The load() function is intended to be compatible with Matlab. Octave's  
documentation is an area many individuals contribute to ... if you are  
inclined, they could use more help :-)

All the development of Octave is by volunteers. The volunteers  
contribute in the areas they are most interested in seeing improved.  
You, or anyone else, would be a welcomed as a contributer.
