imaxima, xemacs and windows - further elbow grease

Hi Jesper.

I went back to basics in the scratch buffer on Win32 XEmacs:

(make-comint "imaxima"

"c:\\Progra~1\\Maxima-5.9.0\\lib\\Maxima\\5.9.0\\binary-gcl\\maxima.exe"
	     nil
	     "-eval" "(user::run)")

This gave me an *imaxima* buffer into which I could type, edit and evaluate
Maxima commands without any problems.

I then loaded:

(C6) block(load ("c:\\Program
Files\\XEmacs\\XEmacs-21.4.11\\site-lisp\\imaxima.lisp"), linenum:0);

which gave the ^c ^d stuff as previously discussed.

When I get a chance, I'll try the other commands in the "imaxima" function
to see which one is not working, but any advice about the most likely place
to look for trouble (and save time) would be appreciated.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.

| Try to uncomment (i.e. remove the semicolons) the two lines at line 799
| in imaxima.el:
|
| ;;; Uncomment to debug:
| ;;;  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*imaxima-work*")
| ;;;    (insert str))
|
| Then evaluate the buffer, `M-x eval-buffer', and run imaxima.  What is
| the contents of the *imaxima-work*" buffer after you have entered an
| expression?
