Ok! Part of the problem for me was to use a release of the Maxima Manual that matched an older version. It might be useful to add a warning about this in the Manual's introduction or top page: Linux distributions are not often updated to the latest version of Maxima; the Manual is available in various sites without reference to a particular version.
Anyway I thank you again for your help, I think I will be able to revamp my code now. Best regards, E.
