Hi, My guess is that the application name would be provided by the underlying
lisp. But many lisps that Maxima runs on do not have readline
support, so perhaps you are best off using rlwrap (provided you don't
use it for other purposes)? Alternatively, Maxima has can be run inside
Emacs with its own comint-based mode and keybindings.
