Hi,
Thank you all for fast response and usefule clues to come around this
issue. The previous version I have been using is 5.20.1. I have just
downgraded the package and it worked fine with one parameter syntax. I
am Arch Linux user and got it from official 'extra' repository
(http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/maxima/). Hope this will
help tracking down the problem.
