SEE ALSO

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