SEE ALSO

       The       documentation      for      Macaulay2      is      available      locally      starting      in
       ${prefix}/share/doc/Macaulay2/Macaulay2Doc/html/index.html, where ${prefix} is replaced by the  directory
       prefix  used  when  the  package was installed.  The directory is available as the value of the Macaulay2
       variable prefixDirectory, but the best way to get to the documentation is to run the command viewHelp  in
       Macaulay2.

       The home page for Macaulay2 is http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/.
