Dear all,

When I do a

wxplot_size:[800,600];
:lisp-quiet (setq $wxplot_size '((mlist simp) 800 600 ))

I get a long error message:

; in: LISP-QUIET (SETQ $WXPLOT_SIZE '((MLIST SIMP) 800 600))
;     ((MAXIMA::MLIST MAXIMA::SIMP) 800 600)
;
; caught ERROR:
;   illegal function call
;
; compilation unit finished
;   caught 1 ERROR condition
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
 Execution of a form compiled with errors.
Form:
  ((MLIST SIMP) 800 600)
Compile-time error:
  illegal function call
Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

If I do a

wxplot_size:[800,600];
:lisp (setq $wxplot_size '((mlist simp) 800 600 ))

instead everything works fine.

What did I do wrong? I wanted to set the default plot size from
wxMaxima's config dialog by sending a command to maxima.

Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,

 Gunter
