Dear Yasuaki, I have a German operating system. My paths are

C:\Programme\Maxima-5.12.0?
( I usually have more than one Maxima version installed, so I need the version number.)
C:\Programme\MiKTeX 2.5\miktex
C:\Programme\gs\gs8.53

On Windows it is fairly common to have version numbers in paths, so a standard Windows 
user doesn't have any chance to follow your installation description. But this is no problem, 
all current paths can be set in setup-imaxima-imath.el

As you see, the miktex path contains one blank. No problem. In setup-imaxima-imath.el all 
paths are quoted in " ".


I would be interested if you have already thought of making embedded plots available, like 
wxMaxima does by the functions wxplot2d and wxplot3d. Maybe iMaxima could have 
iplot2d, etc. Just an idea. Plotting into a postscript or png file and loading it back into a tex 
process could be possible. The result definitely would be very nice.

Take your time
