Thank you very much, Wolfgang! My mistake on forgetting the semicolon in the maxima code. You were right that the problem had to do with H:\ being a network drive (on work network). H:\ was not a valid drive when i tried running and it didn't connect (computer booted at home). I got the wxMaxima-Maxima connection alive by 1) going on the work network and restoring the drives (including H:\). 2) H:\ is now a valid drive 3) Maxima works... My question morphs to... (and it may be a windows command line / batch file question) Is there any way to have the command default location that is used to start maxima assume that it is starting from a driver other than H:\ (my default drive)? My path (from typing 'path' at a command prompt) does not include H:\ When on work network (H:\ is a valid drive): Windows-R + "cmd" goes to H:\ (the problem seems to be that H:\ is some sort of default drive/location ?, due to how work computer gets setup). When not on work network (H:\ is not a valid drive): Windows-R + "cmd" goes to C:\...\system32 directory Maybe something needs to be edited / modified in the maxima.bat batch file? Thank you again! -david On 7/1/2020 1:42 PM, Wolfgang Dautermann wrote: > Am 30.06.20 um 22:45 schrieb David Randall: >> Hello >> >> I am unable to successfully start wxMaxima.
