[Maxima] more problems with readline ...

[Jussi Eloranta]

Hi,

I figured out that I need to open the stream (to /dev/stdin) as follows:

s:openr("/dev/stdin");
t:readline(s);
print("entered = ", t);
closer(s);

At least I could find any info on what streams are open by default 
(pointing to stdin / stdout etc.), so I decided to open one.
This works well with maxima but wxmaxima seems to get stuck in this (and 
so does xmaxima). It does not seem to know when the input is finished.
Any other ways to do this? I suspect that windows would have trouble 
with this as /dev/stdin is not a well defined file there...
Also does wxmaxima have any support for opening file selection dialogs?
