Many times one would like to save the Maxima intermediate results for later use. This can easily be done by the save(filename, quantities); command. The quantities can be names of variables, functions or arrays. Thus, one can do save("my.compu", x,y,fac,mat); for example. Maxima keeps track of your computation. The variable functions is a list of names of functions defined by you. The variable values is a list of variables that still hold values that you have assigned. Similarly, arrays and labels.
An easy way to save many things is to give the save command these key words. Thus save(filename, functions) will cause all functions to be saved. Better yet, save(filename, all) will save everything. Try mhelp on the save command.
