There is a menu option called "evaluate all cells" which you have to use after loading the wxm file. I am not sure I like the new wxMaxima, it is kind of annoying but maybe I will get used to it.

Subject: about maxima 5.17.1 and other things.
Hello, I just installed maxima.5.17.1 in windows XP. It is O.K.
I loaded the affine package, it loads without error but later making the example computation of a grobner basis it gives and error:
function Must_ReplaceP not found (or something like this)
About the new wxmaxima interface:
wxmaxima 0.8 doesn't evalute the cells when you load a session, you have to visit each cell and press ctrl-enter, also to get a new cell you must go there and press enter, that is there is not bottom line for input.

Other things.
About ECL in Ubuntu. Trying to build ECL (last version, instruction on ECL web page) on Ubuntu there are errors, it can't find one so library, it seems that there are some flags that must be provided on installation but the documentation is not correct on this point. I also see this in R. Toy post. Final result: I can't install ECL on ubuntu.
About Maxima in Ubuntu. Repository version is 5.13 or something like this, I have build 5.16.0 with sbcl, the problems happen when I try to load something, it gives and error about something is not a symbol.
About maxima in MAC, the last problem was the difference between MacPorts and DarwinPorts, problems configuring slime, Aqua etc.
It seems to work with several OS requires a lot of work.

I will try to use CFFI with sbcl to connect to CoCoA.
That's all.
