Yes, Hugo,

you have to write a file named  maxima-init.mac 
and put in there every valid Maxima expression you want. This will be read at every 
start or restart. 
Ask Maxima with 
file_search_maxima;
where to place this file.

Also you can have a look into 
Tips and tricks for using Maxima
at  http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml

Hi all,
why shouldn't we add maxima-init.mac to Maxima
and write in there some outcommented examples?
