Thank both of you for the reply. Hector's suggestion works.
I probably don't understand my question either. However I got the idea from reading the SAGE reference manual (on p.247) it says: gif(self, [delay=20], ....) This function will work only if the Imagemagick command line tool is installed... So I went on to look for more info and found in this very same group http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/e860c2cf193761ca that William wrote (on Mar 27): >You have to install ImageMagick which is a generally available >free program: > http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php >How you do this depends on your operating system and possibly >how you're running Sage.

So that's why I asked my question that way... may be that user was not running SAGE from vmware...
