Emaxima questions/bug report

The problem was that multicol uses \output, so when EMaxima redefined
\output, it caused errors when multicol was used.
So I changed EMaxima so it doesn't use \output anymore.
I changed all variables to make sure they contain some form of
"maxima", so there shouldn't be any more conflicts.
Cells now begin and end with
\beginmaxima
and
\endmaxima,
and output is separated by
\maximaoutput
or
\maximatexoutput
I also changed the keybindings for emaxima-toggle-init (now C-c C-t)
and emaxima-send-cell (now C-c C-v), since the old ones conflicted
with AucTeX.

emaxima-mode now has session cells, which begin and end with
\beginmaximasession
and 
\endmaximasession
and will result in the input and output being together with the Maxima
prompts.  (It doesn't yet do the nice colors and TeX output that
batlatex does, though.)

The files
emaxima.el and emaxima.sty
are the ones that were changed, and the intro
EMIntro.ps
has been updated.
They're at
ftp://vh213601.truman.edu/pub/Maxima
