I don't understand what's going on here. Is the problem in wxMaxima
or in Maxima? I'm trying to determine whether to try to squeeze a bug
fix into the 5.18 release branch. Can you post the 2 files in question?

Maybe wxMaxima 0.8.2 cannot load any files? (including the ones
created by 0.8.2)

I seem to recall Andrej V saying something about recent changes in
Maxima created trouble for wxMaxima. Is the observed behavior a
symptom of that?

Thanks for any information,
