-------------------------------------------
The other interfaces of the windows binary for v. 5.30 also have
problems with similar examples.
The console mode (maxima.bat) interface also fails to produce
an ouput from a plot2d instruction and, just as in XMaxima,
dumps one into a fresh gnuplot interface window with a prompt.
wxmaxima's wxplot2d also fails to produce an immediate plot,
but does save a *.png file to the working folder:
(%i1) wxplot2d( [discrete, [ [0,0], [1,2], [2,4] ] ] );
?wxxmltag("c:/work8/maxout_1.png","img")
(%o1) ""
(%i2) wxplot2d( cos (x) ,[ x, 0, 5]);
?wxxmltag("c:/work8/maxout_2.png","img")
(%o2) ""
So something looks broken here.
