Fabrizio,
It's too bad there was nobody from the Maxima project to meet
you at the conferences you mentioned. I hope that sooner or later
we can all meet in person.

Dunno if you saw this already --

The namespace code as it stands seems to work OK but there
is some strangeness. I think what annoys me the most is that
every symbol in a function (including arguments and local variables)
gets displayed with the namespace name, which makes the
function definition more verbose. Since Maxima variables are
dynamic, not lexical, it must be like that, I think. Doubtless there
is more strangeness than that.

Aside from alt-p + alt-n, there is also the playback function
which displays previous inputs and outputs.
best,
Robert
