I do not have windows, but maybe declaring the types helps:

str2lst(str: String): List Integer==map(x +-> ord(x)-65,members(str))

apart from that: 

* which version of axiom are you using (if you do not know, maybe the banner at
  startup contains some information) ?

* maybe issueing

  )set break break

  before invoking str2lst, and 

  :bt

  works on windows, too? Then one of the gurus might be able to help?


good luck,
