Weierstrass equation help

[Jeroen Demeyer <jdemeyer@cage.ugent.be>]

For those like me ;-) who always forget how to call ellinit(): a patch 
for the ellinit() help.

 \subsecidx{ellinit}$(E,\{\fl=0\})$: computes some fixed data concerning the
-elliptic curve given by the five-component vector $E$, which will be
-essential for most further computations on the curve. The result is a
+given elliptic curve which will be essential
+for most further computations on the curve.
+$E$ is a $5$-component vector $a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_6$
+defining the elliptic curve with Weierstrass equation
+$$ Y^2 + a_1 XY + a_3 Y = X^3 + a_2 X^2 + a_4 X + a_6 $$
+The result of \tet{ellinit} is a
 19-component vector E (called a long vector in this section), shortened
 to 13 components (medium vector) if $\fl=1$. Both contain the
 following information in the first 13 components:
