Unfortunately graphics is not yet available on the Windows
version of Axiom. Both graphics and hyperdoc depend on some
graphical libraries (X-windows based) that are not available
under windows. Programs like viewport manager will have to
be re-written to interface with a Windows compatible graphics
library. This is a complex job that is going to take some
time.

I tried to find (a+b)^7 by various ways including (a+b)^6*(a+b) etc, all the time I get only oe result in TEXMAC, a^7. 
In the Axiomsys program , the answer is correct.
