What were you trying to do?

Use the macsyma locker.  Which the docs say:

Macsyma

Description:  Macsyma is a symbolic math program with capabilities
    comparable to Maple and Mathematica.  Newer versions also have
    extensive graphics output options.  Macsyma is available by a
    donation from the vendor and is here on an "as is" basis only; bug
    fixes and updates are not guaranteed.
Platforms:  SPARCclassic
Documentation:
        * help within program
Training:  None
Consulting support:  Unsupported.
How to access:
    athena% add macsyma
    athena% macsyma

What's wrong:

It's not "add macsyma" it's "add macsym" according to the consultant I
asked.

What should have happened:


Please describe any relevant documentation references:

The olh list of available athena software.  It's a documentation bug.
