It appears that closedform is only available in the commercial Macsyma.

To do this create a file maxima.bat somewhere in the PATH
containing the following line:
c:\maxima\src\saved_maxima %1
assuming c:\maxima is where maxima-5.5 is installed.
If the file prob.max contains a sequence of maxima commands,
then the following command issued from the DOS-prompt
maxima < prob.max > soln.txt
will run Maxima on the commands in prob.max and put the output in a file
called soln.txt
Sincerely,
