There is an interesting new feature of Matlab's online help. It can be 
exploited to run simple tests:
Go to a page that features a "Try this example" button, e.g. [1].
Select "Try it in your browser".
Delete their example code and insert your own code.
Hit the green run button.

For your first code snippets, I get an error:
legend ({'abc'}, 'location', 2)
Error using legend

The second test succeeds.
