Wolfgang,
primep is defined in src/ifactor.lisp
If I search for function foo I first try searching for "(defun $foo" in /src/.
Then "(defmfun $foo", then "(defmacro $foo". This helps in most cases.
Functions in /share/ can be defined on Maxima level by foo(var):= ..., which isn't easy to
find, but in case of share functions usually the documentation says in which package the
function is defined.
