I'm afraid to tell you that *this* version of axiom doesn't support graphics on
MS Windows at all. You have, I think, 3 sensible possibilities:
* use VMware to run axiom in a virtual linux environment
* use colinux to do something similar
* use the native MS Windows version of FriCAS (which is a fork of axiom)
For all of these options, Bill Page & Waldek Hebisch can probably answer in
more detail. Also, you then will have access to the interactive help browser.

You have to type the closing parenthesis, which indicates that a system command
follows.
I take the oportunity for a shameless plug:
use the axiom mode for emacs for a better interactive axiom experience
good luck,
