writefile bug # 765510 ? (was: help-- using writefile in winXP)

You may wish to refer to the revised reference manual
(not the same document as the Maxima book) which you can
find at http://maxima.sf.net/docs/original/maxima_toc.html .
It is more up to date than the Maxima book (and also the
version of the reference manual distributed with the binaries).

> Now the close works but there is nothing in the file when I run a
> batch file with this in it:

This appears to be the same as bug # 765510.

As I don't have a Windows box, I can't try it.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

best,
Robert Dodier
