Hi,
in Xmaxima you can also OPEN the file with a simple click on a menu
entry but what goes under the hood is that the graphical interface
silently sends a load or batchload command to the Maxima session. I
cannot check it in Wxmaxima because I don't have it installed right now,
but my guess is that Wxmaxima is doing the same thing.
Cheers,
