Harry,
I think you need to consider carefully what you want the output to be.
There are a number of possibilities, including
* Maxima's internal representation as a string
* The result of string(expr)
* TeX
* MathML
* The two-dimensional "pritty print" version which the command line
displays on the screen. (I suspect not)
I think what you are really asking for in this email is an API for
Maxima. Is that correct?
As has been mentioned on this list before, you will also need to think
about what you expect Maxima to do when it would normally pause for the
reply to an interactive question.
