This doesn't seem to have been much more successful...

So far, you are describing a nested loop. I and Leo both gave you
careful answers to your previous question (see [1]). Leo also pointed
out a link to the documentation, which is actually rather comprehensive
(although sometimes quite hard to read).
If wxMaxima is behaving weirdly, try running just Maxima in a console to
see whether you get the same results there. wxMaxima has to interface
with a child process and (judging from the messages on the mailing list)
quite a lot can go wrong on the way. So running the actual Maxima
program on its own might help you isolate the behaviour you don't
understand.
