MATLAB: Am I unable to find the documentation for DDE-related functions as of MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

I am trying to access the documentation for the DDEINIT function and other DDE-related functions, and they seem to be missing. I was able to access them in MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b).

In MATLAB V5.1, all development work for the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) server and client was stopped. This functionality is no longer documented. MathWorks provides, instead, a MATLAB interface to COM technology

that is documented in COM Support in MATLAB.

The Release Notes for MATLAB R2008a contain more information on this subject.
