 AFAICT, Singular does not have a toplevel isprime() (or ismaximal())
 function.  Reading some mailing list posts regarding Singular and
 Macaulay2, I believe both implement the same two algorithms for
 calculating the complete primary decomposition of an ideal.  I don't
 understand enough to say definitively and I may be misusing the complete
 primary decomposition for testing primality.  I was hoping that Martin
 Albrecht would review and clarify the situation.
