saving .mac files



~~~

Andrej,

Yes that is the case now, to save a mac file open the wxm file with a text editor 
search and delete all occurrences of /* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */ and  
/* [wxMaxima: input   end   ] */, delete the DO NOT EDIT BY HAND! header,
delete the "..can not end with.." lines, then save the file with a .mac extension.

A wxm file is not the same as a mac file. A wxm file recreates the console state 
at the time the session was saved with all input and output lines displayed.  
A mac file saves a function or other wxMaxima capability to my wxMaxima environment.

I wish I knew how to add a (*.mac) option in the "Save as Type" pull down menu that 
appears after a PC "File save as" motion and be done with this.

Thanks,
Ed.
