specifying options in advance?

[dimpase]

The only way described in the docs to use ACE as the default TC program does not mention how to do it with non-default options, which is often needed. Indeed, after

LoadPackage("ACE");
TCENUM:=ACETCENUM;
...
G:=...
H:=...
r:=FactorCosetAction(G,H);

one can easily run out of space, and do

brk> SetACEOptions(:workspace:=10^9); # say, this much
brk> return;

to complete the task, but this is a hassle. (It's somewhere not even in the init scrips in pkg/ace-5.2/ how to change this option).

Note that the command SetACEOptions() does not work before the start of the enumeration. One gets

gap> SetACEOptions(:workspace:=10^9);
#I  No interactive ACE sessions are currently active
Error, no currently active interactive ACE sessions called from
...

Actually, the manual does describe how to do this: chapter 4 is all about this, and the examples also show it:

r:=FactorCosetAction(G,H : workspace:=10^9);

Thanks. However, one has to read all the way to sect 4 to find this. It ought to be mentioned in sect 1.1 already; instead, sect 1.1 sends you to sect. 5.

I'll see if I could do a pull request to fix this in the docs.
