I recently downloaded the PC version of maxima and have been having a
lot of fun playing with it.
I used to use Macsyma, many years ago, so it was good to remeber some of
that stuff.
However, I do not seem to be able to get WRITEFILE to work.
If I submit a series of commands like:
WRITEFILE("TRANSCRIPT");
x: a + b;
CLOSEFILE();
then maxima creates a file called TRANSCRIPT, but it is empty.
Is this a known weakness of the PC distribution or am I missing
something.
Thanks for your help
