I am trying to get Maxima to autoload files like "functs". As far as I
can figure I do this with the maxima-init.mac file. Where should this
file be placed on a Windows XP system?

A discussion oriented to Windows users is in Sec. 5
of Ch. 1 of Maxima by Example.
If you have not redefined the Maxima string < maxima_userdir > in your
startup file or work session, you can find where Maxima looks for the
startup file as
follows:
(%i1) maxima_userdir;
(%o1) C:/Documents and Settings/Edwin Woollett/maxima
So if the folder doesn't exist, create it, and then create the file
maxima-init.mac in that folder.
By including a line like
disp("hello ted")$
you can see (when you startup Maxima) that your start up file
has been read.
