To see the internal format of an expression, use ?print(...).

The main problems you will have in this are the long latency if you start a
new process each time you need a result, and the fact that Maxima
occasionally asks the user questions, e.g.

       integrate(x^a,x);
       Is  a + 1  zero or nonzero?

Good luck.
