Hi --
Thanks for the answers.
The command I entered was just
(C1) entermatrix(3,3);
as suggested in the Maxima Manual.
If anyone investigates this further, please post here a follow-up so
that we can all learn form this. I think the general idea is that we
become more and more acquainted with the source, right?
Best regards,
Henry
