Hello, Tim!

What I meant by saving the intermediate results was what you said: break the
computation in multiple input files and save at the end of them and load at
the begining.

I tried using the )history commands, but it isn't working. I am using
OpenAxiom-1.3.0 on Windows, and when I issue a command like ")history )save
test", axiom returns me

>> System.error:
#p"test.input" is not a type of STRING.

I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks a lot!
