In TK Maxima, typing 20000!;
gives an answer.
In wxMaxima 0.6.4
I get
<<Expression to long to display! >>
[That should probably be "Expression too long to display!"]
or if the edit-configure-setting is to show long expressions, it seems
to me to be a very long blank.
I am used to typing my own right parentheses and seeing the
matching one blink (as in emacs lisp mode). Skipping
over the one inserted in the input-line seems strange,
so I suppose I should set that configuration option.
Still, the matching paren should blink.
It would be nice if you can have a plot and not have to kill it in order
to continue input, but maybe I'm just using it wrong.
It would be nice to have other symbols, like alpha, beta, etc.
but TK Maxima doesn't do that either. I don't know what
checking Greek does, but maybe I should read a manual!
Anyway, none of these issues is, to me, critical.
