matrix how to call just a column like A( : , 2 )

[resolved]

it is in the manual ?? really??
chapter 27 matrix pages 560 through 597 does not mention it, great, that is where one would expect to find it.
searched for the command -- yup there it is, page 464 in chapter 23 Functions and commands.
you would never be able to find the command if you didn't already know the command!!! What good is a manual to someone learning when the manual requires you to know the command before you can find it.

thanks for the help -- I would have never found the command in the manual without your help. By not knowing the secrete code it is impossible to find in the manual, unless you can read and retain 761 pages of information, I cannot and if I already knew what I was looking for, then I wouldn't need the manual.
