Thank you for all those suggestions
To explain a little further
The command in Mathematica
TableForm[Table[(i + j)^j, {i, 3}, {j, 3}], TableHeadings -> {{"A", "B",
"C"}, {"X", "Y", "Z"}}]
results in the same output as the following in wxmaxima
LN0 :[" ","X","Y","Z"];
L1 : makelist(i^(i-1), i, 2 ,4 );
L2 : makelist(i^(i-2), i, 3, 5);
L3 : makelist(i^(i-3), i, 4, 6);
LN1 : cons("A", L1);
LN2 : cons("B", L2);
LN3 : cons("C", L3);
M : matrix(LN0,LN1,LN2,LN3)$
print (M)$
My knowledge of wxmaxima is minimal and although I found the tutorial on
Reading and Writing data useful I still think that the additional
optionality in creating tables in Mathematica is very useful.
The contribution by ?iga Lenar?i? seemed to be a fruitful way forward (thank
you n aipmoro - if I knew how to apply it). In conclusion I suppose I am
surprised that some elaboration of the output into tables has not been
developed but so be it.
