readline() and wxmaxima (or xmaxima)



Hi,

I have tried to find out what are the standard stream names in maxima 
are. If I started maxima as an interactive session (maxima command)
then it looks like readline(false) (and readline(true)) both refer to 
stdin. However, if I use wxmaxima or xmaxima readline(false) (or true), it
does not take the input from the keyboard but from somewhere else (the 
difference is probably that they interact with maxima via a pipe?).

Any idea how to use readline() to input data from keyboard in such a way 
that it works with wxmaxima / xmaxima too?
