load(draw) doesn't work



I downloaded draw.lisp and grcommon.list from scm repositories (http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/maxima/maxima/share/draw/) - I assume thats the right source. Problem: on (my) mac maxima and wxmaxima don't appear in folders as on my window system - you only see icons of them after installing (thats also new for me, I am just learning using a mac). So where should I copy the lisp files? I assume this can't be done after downloading maxima.

I avoided loading/also starting aquaterm by editing "set term x11" in gnuplot. So I only have to start x11 before plotting with draw (there are few more forums discussing this problem, e.g.: http://www.thejunkers.org/blog/sven/2011/02/26/maxima-octave-and-gnuplot-in-os-x-snow-leopard/ ).

It works so far quit nice?por eso ahora me voy a cenar
saludos y gracias
