Option cmd line , startup file, fortran generator

Hello

  I am a new user of maxima, and I have to develop some
  applications which  need mixte numerical computation
  and symbolic calculus.
  1) I would like to create a user's initialization file
       for maxima 5.2 for linux and windows NT
In this file or command line I would like  :
   a-  to load procedures maxima and actions for reading files.
   b-  to quit automatically after running or
          to get the hand before  quitting
   c-  how to write the command line  will be invoking by shell
          or matlab like as for example maxima -? startup
   d-  to find where are  the options any  command line in the
          maxima's  documentation ?
  e-   has  someone  any examples of these commands and programs

2) I am looking for a similar indets(maple) function in maxima
     for example :
     f:sin(log(u[1]^2+b)+w(3+a))+d;
  f- gives the functions {sin,log,w} w is not declared as
       function in maxima
  g- the variables {u[1],b,d,a}
  h- the function with its arguments {log(u[1]^2+b),
            {sin((log(u[1]^2+b)+w(3))),w(3+a),log(u[1]^2+b)}
3) I am looking for some examples of fortran generator with
       complicated  structure in an filename  like
  call toto(2.d0,.true.,'rr', u(1));
  integer dd,rr,ss
  common /fff/y(20)
  Has somebody already been working on this ?

  4) the last question : I would like to use the keyboard
      functions up and down for calling back and editing
       the last command.  Is it possible with maxima TTY?

Thank you very much for your help and examples of program.

Best regards,
