error in helpfile - function LOG

This is from the help file about the function LOG:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"  LOG   function
  Syntax : LOG(argument,[argument2])

  It returns the logarithm.

  As argument2 is not being given the course logarithm is then returned.

  Example:
  DIM X AS DOUBLE
  X=log(10)
  X has now the value 2,3

  X=log(10,100)       X=10log100

  X has now the value 10"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
But the result of X=log(10,100) is not 10. It is 2 !!!
