I don't know anything about Windows nor xmaxima, but you probably
don't want to use the GUI for a batch job. Have a look whether there
is an unadorned maxima (maxima.exe) without GUI - possibly C:/Program
Files/Maxima-5.9.0/bin/maxima.exe - and run that instead; if things
are similar to Linux, you should be able to run your program with
"maxima.exe --batch=filename.max", or else with "maxima.exe <
filename.max".
