William, I'm impressed that you take the time to answer all these emails.
Well I eventually did get the notebook and command line Sage to work for a while. I managed to crash sage a few times with commands from the Tutorial such as the linear algebra command kernel() and the matplotlib command 'show()'. I believe it was sage that crashed because calculations were no longer carried out in the notebook. When I crashed it from the Vmware command line I was not able to recover. Restarting Sage does not help because Vmware takes me to its last state, which is a dollar sign prompt. when I type 'notebook' at the prompt I get the standard message followed by, "sh: cannot create notebook.log: Permission denied" "echo: write error: Broken pipe" If I type 'sage' at the $ prompt I get about 20 or 30 lines of text (which I can't copy and paste) followed by the prompt, <ERROR: name 'sage_prompt' is not defined> Is there a way to reset the Vmware state? Why are certain commands found in the Tutorial such as kernel() and show() causing Sage to crash? Unless there is a quick fix I may just have to wait until I have a Linux system or partition before trying Sage, because this Vmware approach is not working well for me and is taking too much time.
