Hi,
I was under the impression that kill(all) cleaned all user-created
definitions out of the global environment. However it seems that it
doesn't. I am developing a package (called tdot) and I have some code
(what it does precisely isn't relevant to my point) in a wxMaxima cell
which starts:
kill(all)$
load("tdot.mac")$
gcoords(x,y,q)$
......etc
The first time I run the cell it fails; however if I run it a second
time it works perfectly. It also works perfectly if I repeat these first
three lines at the top of the cell. This suggests that kill(all) doesn't
kill everything. If anyone has any suggestions at this stage about what
might be happening I would be grateful, if not I will try to isolate a
minimal example of this phenomenon as it looks like it might be some
sort of bug.
Thanks,
Bernard.
