The browser Edit menu in xmaxima browser gives you a number of options
that allows you to specify which backend process you want to send
the selection to {mark for eval ...} I think this was a part of WFS's
concept of OpenMath, where the frontend UI works for many backends.
Needless to say, supporting this clutters the xmaxima code.
Does anyone use this (I'm not sure it actually works)? Does anyone
mind if I at least remove the browser Edit menu, and possibly
discontinue support for the "open" part of the interface? Targeting
specifically on maxima may help simplify things.
