I've been reading a book on Expect in the hope of being able to
get different interactive programs, including Maxima, to talk
to each other. The book is published by O'Reilly. Apparently Doug
is happy with the answers he's received, but this approach via
Expect might make it possible to avoid having to put the answers
in a file and retrieve them from it. I can't be more certain about
this since I'm only about 70 pages into the Expect book and reading
it rather passively a page or two a day.
