Some questions



Hello!

I have several questions:

1. Is it possible to make standalone application from maxima code (for
Windows)? How? Command-line interface can be enough for me.

2.  For  matrix 'm' 'm[i]' is the i-th row of 'm'. Is there any way to
get  a  column?  I  know about 'col(m,i)' but 'col' returns matrix and
it's  not  possible  to assign a value to it. It's convinient to write
'm[i]:[1,2,3]'. Why can't I do that with columns?

3.  Why doesn't 'return' work in loops? For example:
(C1) block([],for i:1 thru 5 do return(1), 0);
(D1) 0
