Abstract
In this paper the syntax of the functions of the packages Clifford.m and Nabla.m is explained by means of simple examples. These files together with some examples mostly taken from physical applications are meant to be an integral part of the software developed by the authors. Also included is a MatLab appendix referring to another specific set of files.
