Producing Examples for Manual

Hi,

I want to make a manual using texinfo, but I don't know how to
produce the examples (automatically) like those in the Maxima manual.

When I call for example Maxima this way:

    maxima --batch-string "x:a**2/b**2;",

I get the following result:

                                   2
                                  a
(%i1)                         x : --
                                   2
                                  b
                                 2
                                a
(%o1)                           --
                                 2
                                b

I think, the input expression should not be "displayed-2d",
but reproduced exactly as typed in (also without indentation);
how can that be done?

I'm using Maxima-5.10.1 on Windows XP.
(I don't know, whether the Perl-script "update-examples" is still actual,
at least it does not run under Windows.)


Thanks in advance,
