? display2d
==> Info from file /usr/share/info/maxima.info:
- Variable: DISPLAY2D
default: [TRUE] - if set to FALSE will cause the standard display
to be a string (1-dimensional) form rather than a display
(2-dimensional) form. This may be of benefit for users on printing
consoles who would like to conserve paper.
If you don't want to set display2d globally, you can define
normalprint(expr) ::=
buildq([expr], block([display2d: false], expr)) $
normalprint( 3*x^2/4 ); ==> 3*x^2/4

Whether that list is complete, I do not know. (Also there is some
strange interaction with the emacs maxima mode.)
