Re: maxima+xmaxima: can't type into Console

By itself, the command-line maxima works (so far) as expected. good. When, instead, I start xmaxima from the command-line, I get two windows ? Xmaxima: browser and Xmaxima: console. If I double-click one of the highlighted lines in the Xmaxima: browser window, then the output appears in the Xmaxima:browser window, and both the input and corresponding output appear in the Xmaxima:console window as well. Yes, that's intentional. The browser just shows you a section from the manual, which you're advised to click through to show off some of maxima's and xmaxima's features. But I cannot type any input directly into the Xmaxima: console window. Shouldn?t I be able to do so? And, if not, how can one enter input of one?s own (instead of just evaluate what?s in the prepared html page showing in the Xmaxima:browser window? You should be able to enter your own lines in the console. If not, which Mac OS version are you using? Here on my SL it works seamlessly. Greets, Marko P.S.: Perhaps you would like to install wxMaxima and try that too. The port upgrade to tk @8.6.1_1 (x11) seems to have fixe the problem with maxima. Still, wxMaxima may be a nicer environment. --- Murray Eisenbergmurrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667Mobile (413)-427-5334 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

I have, but it's rare. Web usability trumped security here --- filler symbols give away information about password length. (Granted, back when Unix was limited to 8 character maximum for passwords, this was a lot more information given away. Then again, I bet most people still use less than 8 characters when they can get away with it.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
