Is there a Maxima equivalent of Macsyma's initialization file? Under Macsyma the file is called macsyma-init.macsyma. In this file, you can set filesearch and issue setupautoload statements. Maxima's info file mentions the initialization file, but all my guesses for where to put it and what to call it have failed. Thanks, [Barton, Willis] = 0 University of Nebraska at Kearney
