One thing that would really help is, as you figure out how to do
various tasks, report in detail what you did and how you did it to the
list. This list is archived, so when the documentation effort picks up
someday we will have a record of what tasks people have tried and
how/why they did/didn't work.
Glad you like Maxima, I agree it is really cool.
