Am I correct in my reading of ob-maxima.el that the babel module for maxima doesn't support persistent variables between code blocks? If so, this seems like a severe limitation. I did some searching and found this guide (http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2010/021027.html) for setting up a local maxima "server". I'm trying to implement an org interface to this process, but my elisp skills are extremely rudimentary. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for code that does something similar, that would be great. Thanks, Derek
