Subject: fixed in Axiom and partially in FriCAS
Message-ID: <20080119011643-0800@axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org>
Status: open => fix proposed
this is due to missing help files. In Axiom, help files are installed now, in FriCAS they are used when installed, but must be installed manually.

Your argument list is not valid.The error on the above is the missing space.
However, as shown below, )abbrev ? seems really not to have documentation, but )help ? had, and is not working in this version of Axiom.
axiom)what commands --------------- System Commands for User Level: development --------------- abbreviations boot cd clear close compiler copyright credits display edit fin frame help history lisp library load ltrace pquit quit read savesystem set show spool summary synonym system trace undo what with workfiles zsystemdevelopment For more information about individual commands, use the )help system command followed by the command name or the command name followed by a question mark. Some commands (such as )lisp ) may require the )help lisp format. For example, issue )help help or )help ? to find out more about the help command itself. )help abbreviations If the system command or synonym abbreviations exists, help information is not available for it. Issue )what commands or )what synonyms to determine is abbreviations is a valid name. )abbreviations ? If the system command or synonym abbreviations exists, help information is not available for it. Issue )what commands or )what synonyms to determine is abbreviations is a valid name. )help help If the system command or synonym help exists, help information is not available for it. Issue )what commands or )what synonyms to determine is help is a valid name. )help ? If the system command or synonym help exists, help information is not available for it. Issue )what commands or )what synonyms to determine is help is a valid name.
Comparing this with the NAG version, )what commands, )help abbreviations, and )abbreviations ? behave the same, but )help help and )help ? both print out about three pages of information, including two Sections A.12. )help, and A.1. Introduction from the "on-line version of the book". So there probably wasn't any documentation on )abbreviations to begin with. But )help ? should have worked.
this is due to missing help files. In Axiom, help files are installed now, in FriCAS? they are used when installed, but must be installed manually.
