13.2 Files
==========

A file is simply an area on a particular storage device which contains
data or text.  Files on the disks are figuratively grouped into
"directories".  A directory is just a list of files.  Commands which
deal with files are:

   appendfile           batch                 batchload
   closefile            file_output_append    filename_merge
   file_search          file_search_maxima    file_search_lisp
   file_search_demo     file_search_usage     file_search_tests
   file_type            file_type_lisp        file_type_maxima
   load                 load_pathname         loadfile
   loadprint            pathname_directory    pathname_name
   pathname_type        printfile             save
   stringout            with_stdout           writefile

   When a file name is passed to functions like 'plot2d', 'save', or
'writefile' and the file name does not include a path, Maxima stores the
file in the current working directory.  The current working directory
depends on the system like Windows or Linux and on the installation.
