Hello,
I noticed that the notebook capabilities of Maxima 5.5 that allowed to
make computations with Maxima, gap, octave and a few other programs in the
lower window of Xmaxima, and insert results in it, is still broken in
version 5.9.0 (it was noted already by Y. Goldschmidt 2 weeks ago, for
version 5.9.0rc4, cf. below).
As the resulting notebook is a plain html file, this is a very convenient
interface to blend math computations with text, that is usable on any
platform where Xmaxima exists, and whose results can be directly displayed
on any platform, too (incidentally, W. Schelter had recommended me this
way of making computations with Maxima - with good reasons, I think)
Is there any plan to fix this very nice feature?
Thanks a lot.

I have a problem with 5.9, not existing on 5.5, do you see it also on
linux?
In xmaxima, if I type something like 4*5; in the LOWER window and then go
to
edit, change to maxima and chose mark for evaluation I get an error
message
about a ] after quote instead of a space. This makes the lower window
useless for "notebook" type use a la Mathematica.
