Dear Simon and William, thanks for the comments. They helped. I was trying to save things in sage and then edit the file. But I needed to create the file somewhere else. It works now.
As William guessed I am using the command line vmware, not the notebook. Notebook seems to be very slow. but since the other method worked, I dont need to copy paste anymore. If anyone else has the same problem here is what I do: When you run the sage in VMware: sage login: manage [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo su [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/manage# cd .. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home# cd sage [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sage# nano then the editor opens and you write the program. and ctrl+x to exit and save the file as example.sage then quit nano. you're back at [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sage# sage then sage opens, sage: load "example.sage" and it loads your file. :) now in order to edit the file, sage: quit this takes you back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sage# and write nano example.sage and editor opens with the file , you can edit the file and save it and run it in sage. there might be an easier way of doing this, but this worked for me. thanks for the help. best, ogul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
