Yes, the "Use Computer Algebra System" feature is rather simplistic. Having said that, 'a = b*c = 6*7' does not appear to be valid Maxima input. > Besides solving this problem, is there anywhere a documentation of this > option, anywhere? It's not documented, and it is basically not useful for anything but very simple expression evalutiaon. Andre'
