How to restore overloaded doc function?

Hi,
I foolishly defined a variable called 'doc' in a Matlab script, which was left in the workspace after the script executed. I then attempted to use the 'doc' function to access the Matlab documentation. I get only an HTML version of the Matlab help contents, and those links don't seem to be active. Does anyone know how to bring the 'doc' function and Matlab help back to life?
Thanks for any suggestions. Bob

I share Jan's puzzle as well, I would have expected a message like:
"Error: "doc" was previously used as a variable, conflicting with its use here as the name of a function or command."
but can't you just clear that variable
clearvars doc
Then if you enter
which doc
You should get something ending in
matlab\toolbox\matlab\helptools\doc.m
