maxima lisp emacs



Hi,

Thx for answer and tips,
I have removed 3 errors ( syntax ?),
and found nest 2 logical ( ?) :
- first : A local variable exists only for the duration of its scope, 
which in Lisp is the length of the let statement. ( so I have to move 
closing paren)
- second : I have to change content of file to be properly created.


Thx  (:-))

Adam
