Yes, I'm using TexInfo 5. It is installed by the Fink package manager on OS X 
10.8, so I don't know an easy way to downgrade to TexInfo 4.

octave:5> pkg load statistics

'dendogram' is a function from the file 
/Users/lukas/octave/statistics-1.2.1/dendogram.m

 -- Function File: P = dendogram (TREE)
     Plots a dendogram using the output of function 'linkage'.

 -- Function File: P, T = dendogram (TREE)
     Plots the dendrogram and returns a vector t of containing the leaf
     node number for each object in the original dataset.  For now, all
     objects are leaf nodes.

 -- Function File: P, T, PERM = dendogram (TREE)
     Plots the dendrogram, and returns the permutation of the input
     objects used to display the dendrogram, in left-to-right order.

     TODO: Return handle to lines to set properties TODO: Rescale the
     plot automatically base don data.

'hist3' is a function from the file /Users/lukas/octave/statistics-1.2.1/hist3.m

 -- Function File: hist3( X )
     Plots a 2D histogram of the N x 2 matrix X with 10 equally spaced
     bins in both the x and y direction using the 'mesh' function

 -- Function File: hist3( X , NBINS)
 -- Function File: hist3( X , 'Nbins', NBINS)
     Use NBINS equally spaced bins to compute histogram.  If NBINS is a
     2 element vector, use the two values as the number of bins in the x
     and y axis, respectively, otherwise, use the same value for each.

 -- Function File: hist3( X , CENTERS)
 -- Function File: hist3( X , 'Centers', CENTERS)
     Specify the centers of the histogram bins.  CENTERS should be a
     cell array containing two arrays of the bin centers on the x and y
     axis, respectively.

 -- Function File: hist3( X , 'Edges', EDGES)
     Specify the edges of the histogram bins.  EDGES should be a cell
     array containing two arrays of the bin edges on the x and y axis,
     respectively.

 -- Function File: N = hist3( X, ...)
     returns the 2D array of bin counts in N, and does not plot the
     histogram

 -- Function File: [N, C] = hist3( X, ...)
     returns the 2D array of bin counts in N and the bin centers in the
     2 element cell array C, and does not plot the histogram
