Maybe variables?

It seems natural to me that properties are part of an index.  When I am
not sure if something exists in the current version of Octave, I look
for it in the index with the "i" command of Info, and if I cannot find
it I assume it does not exist.  Or else, as in this case, I search in
the whole manual and, after finding it, I send a bug report :)

Probably there should be one more index for properties. (Not necessarily
graphics ones, maybe other properties exist?)
