Subject: Need help plotting "volume of revolution"

Hello-
First, let me begin by saying that recently I've been comparing Maple's and Maxima integration.
IMHO, Maxima gives better answers.
To the point: I need help in plotting a volume of revolution (is that how you say i in English?)
I've looked at the documentation. I didn't find a satisfactory answer.
Can anyone give an example of how to plot this in 3D (Maxima 5.6 on Debian Woody):
function: y = SQRT(3 - x)
domain: -1 to 3
revolves around the X axis.
And for intercepting functions:
f1:= y = x
f2:= y = 2 - (x^2)
area of intersection:
Area from parabola's apex (i.e., 2) and space up from the identity function ( y = x )
revolves around the X axis
I think these examples are fairly simple. I hope I've made myself clear!
TIA,
Regards to all,
Henry
