Well, our current documentation state can be briefly summed up with the
word "sucks". There is the beginnings of a User Manual, which might
provide you a bit easier introduction, but incomplete is a generous
word for it at this point. I can put together a PDF and send it to you
- it's not ready for the web yet.
You might try to locate old Macsyma manuals, which will still be fairly
relevant, but that is proving to be a bit of a challenge for me so
don't hold your breath if you start looking.
Let me know if you want the PDF of the current user manual effort.
