changing maxima display to plaintext notation

Hello

Thanks for the fix.  Much easier to read.

I've definitely tried one gui wxmaxima.  Practically everything was  
accessible with the exception of the answer view.  So I could enter  
something, but I couldn't read the output.  Not very useful really.   
Anyway, the commandline is somewhat more of a challenge to me, but I  
think if I learned it, it would be much more productive than gui anyway.

Regards
Justin Harford
