You can do this if you load the sqdnst package.  Then

(C2) sqrtdenest(sqrt(4+2*sqrt(3)));

Dear Ray

Thanks it worked fine--I am going to have to check those share directories on the main site--looks like there are a lot of packages there that are not included in the general download [windows version].

kind regards
Stephen

PS
are there any docs that describe all the packages available in these share directories? 
Also are there any books/docs available [apart from the manual] about Maxima?
