There are two ways to use Sage, via the notebook or via a command prompt. Which is better depends on personal preference, but I don't think they can be used at the same time (without starting a new copy of Sage), as the prompt console is used by the notebook server.
To get the prompt, one should type something other than "notebook" when the virtual machine starts up. However, especially from Windows, it's probably easier to use the notebook. Click on "new worksheet" and a blank worksheet will come up. There is a box where you can type input, and hit shift-enter (or click on the evaluate link) to run it. (The first time may take a couple of seconds as it's starting up sage in the background at that point). I believe most of this is discussed in the tutorial, which is a very good place to look. - Robert On Nov 2, 2008, at 9:22 PM, systemwizard wrote: > I have just fininshed upgrading to Sage 3.1.4 from Sage 2.8.15 in > WinXP.
