Thx

The current User Guide say this:

"With two additional integer arguments a and p, returns the discrete Fourier transform in the field Z/pZ, with a as primitive nth root of 1 (n=size(Vector))."

The built-in Help system says almost the same thing but it is missing the word "as", which makes the above confusing. Hope this helps!
