In a typical installation, maxima.bat is somewhere in
c:\program files\maxima....
If maxima.bat is modified in that way on the hard drive,
does it work correctly?
What is %CHDIR% anyway? I don't know much about Windows.

Well, I don't know. Vadim? Anybody?
Context for Maxima list -- Framakey is a project to
put free software on USB memory keys. (That's what
Google says, anyway.) Having Maxima distributed that way
sounds like a great idea.
