Re: [Maxima-discuss] Who is maintaining the emacs lisp code, e.g. dbl.el?

[Richard F. <fa...@be...>]

If you are willing to use emacs, then the very simplest interface -- the 
one I use sometimes -- entirely without
special emacs macros etc, can be run in windows/emacs.

   This is useful to me if I want to
record the total interaction, including interspersed lisp or debugging 
etc, without any "user interface"
that requires the use of menus, or tries to display images.

I start up emacs
I start a windows shell command buffer by typing
esc x  shell
c:\maxima-5.40.0\bin\maxima.bat

that's all.

oh, commands look like    x+y; <newline>

I suppose that I could spend time learning extra commands specific to 
Maxima,
but I don't care to invest that time. (and I would probably forget the 
details
between uses.)

The big advantage in using emacs for me is that I can keep my fingers on the
keyboard, and not reach for a mouse, or poke at the F1-F12 keys. I 
modify the
windows registry so that caps-lock is replaced by control.

Good luck
