I was hoping to give my calculus III students a short introduction to using vectors in Maple.  I wanted a few simple things like plotting vectors in three space.  I loaded VectorCalculus.  Got the dot product and cross product to work, and I can plot one vector -- although it looks more like a telephone pole with a cap than a simple arrow.  But despite all my attempts to give plotvector a list of vectors, I am completely unsuccessful.  There has got to be a better way.  I'm quite frustrated after searching through documentation for several hours.  I'm certainly not giving this to my students at this point.  I'll appreciate any help.
