Emaxima doesn't handle that very well, it's something I just never
came across. It should be easy to take care of, though. The prompt
is just a regular expression that Emacs searches for, and it just
needs a regular expression that includes all possible prompts.
(I'll get around to that soon...)

Well, emaxima.lisp is just a slightly modified version of
imaxima.lisp, which I think is just a slightly modified version of
texmacs.lisp.
