Unformatted output? how to display



How can I get maxima to display unformatted output?  That is, to display 
an equation exactly  in the form required for entry on the prompt.

That is, I don't want any of the *fancy* formatting which shows 
exponents, fractions, and whatnot.

Such as:

(C100) normalprint( 3*x^2/4 );
(D100) 3*x^2/4;


And also, is there a proper index for the maxima docs somewhere: 
something that includes all keywords, such as function names and symbols?
