Hi Andrej,

 also I recently built my own interface for one of my favorite
 programmes. I tried to construct the same thing for maxima,
 but I couldn't find a way to catch the output or to feed
 input programmatically. With the other app I just have
 a kind of Sendkeys and post my stuff via clipboard...
 kind of rough, I know. But that was possible because the
 app uses stdin/stdout/stderr for in/out, and I don't have
 even a clue, whether there could be any path into the
 xmaxima-interface.

 Do you have some information about that?

 Also one aspect of my other interface may be of interest, since
 it is a multi-line input field, very easy to deal with editing
 of erroneous functions and the stuff. You may have a look or
 download to see how it works at

    http://www.uni-kassel.de/~helms/sw/aribashlp

 just for an impression. (provides just an edit-area,
 no syntax-synthesis intended)

 </And a bit of flame, sorry... I'll not step often in such flaming,
   promised:

    I always *hate* this interfering flow of input
    and output in *one* terminal. I'm fed up with that since the
    early eighties, and I really cannot understand, that this
    design is still alive... that's the reason, why maxima is
    practically sleeping on my disk after some weeks of fiddling
    around with it. I really would like to return to xmaxima,
    but without an absolute need, I won't unless I can make
    me a usable interface)
