Maxima/XMaxima 2d output transfer in LaTeX under Windows

Dear Stavros,

I am extremely thankful to you for your so precious help through
your prompt reply, the three solutions you suggested below 
and, especially, for your tabpatch.lisp code for avoiding tabs 
in Maxima. Not using Cygwin, Emacs or C neither having the
necessary experience in modifyng LaTeX or somebody to ask
for help in LaTeX, I preferred to use your aforementioned LISP
code with excellent results.

Now Maxima's sessions appear perfectly when using LaTeX.
I have also verified that the tab character is not present any more. 

With this opportunity I have also tested a Maxima short session in 
Wordpad and Word with also excellent results contrary to the past.
Therefore, I will try to change our (my and my students' I mean) 
policy to use Notepad by moving to Wordpad or Word as Maxima's 
output with the additional advantage of being able to have both text 
and graphics, Print Screen graphics I mean, in the same Maxima note-
book (essentially finally prepared with the help of Wordpad or Word).

Please, accept again my most sincere thanks for your precious help,
for which I am really grateful to you.

Best regards from Patras,

Nikos
