To any REX MACSYMA users out there:

Has anyone found a ***READABLE*** Macsyma tutorial/reference?  The Symbolics
documentation is poorly organized and not suitable for rookie MACSYMA users.
In particular, anything that discusses MACSYMA's bugs, quirks, and limitations
would be very desirable.

Also, does anyone have advice on how to "sell" people on the idea of symbolic
math programs?

Thank You,
