The missing carriage return only occurs in ms-windows xmaxima 5.9.2,
not in the command line version 5.9.2
and not in xmaxima 5.9.1.
so something must have been changed from 5.9.1 to 5.9.2 in the ms-windows
xmaxima. someone must know.
secondly, I wonder wether function sprint is commented out in plot.lisp in 5.9.2, in 5.9.1
it was available. What is the reason for that? Who did the change? Is this related
somehow?
