Thanks very much! I am, of course, nobody in particular.

row(M, i) => returns a matrix
M[i] => returns a list

So these are a little bit different. (In Maxima, lists and matrices
are distinct -- a list is not a 1-row matrix.)

The representation of a matrix in Maxima is very naive -- a matrix
is just a list of lists (i.e., a list of rows). This makes M[i] => row
very easy, but there is no equally simple notation to obtain a column.
We have discussed matrix representation on the Maxima mailing list,
so something might be changed in the not-too-distant future.

All the best, and my apologies for not writing in the official
language of the list.
