The man page is probably very outdated in that respect. From
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ui-tips.shtml:
Environment variables
MAXIMA_USERDIR
Points to a directory for user customization files. Maxima's
default search paths include MAXIMA_USERDIR. Default value:
$HOME/.maxima.
Customization files
Maxima checks for the presence of the files maxima-init.lisp and
maxima-init.mac in the search path and loads them if available. The
most logical place to put these files is in MAXIMA_USERDIR, as defined
above.
An example maxima-init.lisp that re-enables the lisp debugger:
(setf *debugger-hook* nil)
(format t "*** My personal maxima-init.lisp has been loaded ***~%")
An example maxima-init.mac that enables gnuplot's pm3d mode:
set_plot_option([gnuplot_pm3d,true]);
print("*** My very own personal maxima-init.mac has been loaded. ***");
The print/format statements are useful for debugging. They can be
removed once the init files are established to be working.
