Yes that would be helpful.
Failing it, here are two suggestions.
1. If you have an expression using the notation then find its full form (or,
maybe, its input form).
Here we have to use HoldForm to stop the expression evaluating
HoldForm[FullForm[StringJoin@@@cas]]
Apply[StringJoin,cas,List[1]]
HoldForm[InputForm[StringJoin@@@cas]]
Apply[StringJoin, cas, {1}]
2. These short forms are called "operators". Look up Operator in the Help
Browser with scope Mas
You will eventually find yourself at A.2.7 in the Book. This gives all the
oerators.
