I have found this approach quite interesting. Thank you for posting it
here

After reading the documentation I have not been able to install
the whole stuff properly.

Firstly, I put the battex.sty in my texmf tree, then 
I run texhash. Secondly I copied the batchtex.lisp to 
/usr/local/lib/maxima-5.6/share/batchtex.lisp and then I
created the file ex1.tex (the same Barton proposed
as example in the documentation)

neptuno:~/tmp$ maxima

(C2)                                                                            


and located at ~/tmp there exists a file ex1.tex.

I am missing something important?
Please could you point me out what I have misunderstood?

Thank you very much for your help
Regards
