Hi Martin,
Thanks to your axiom.pamphlet and axiom.el files,
Now I better understand how the comint mode is running...
In your previous mail you write about :
clean up initialisation routines.
---------------------------------
I don't understand what you should like :
> [[M-x axiom]] should switch to the buffer [[*axiom*]], if it exists and if
> it is an "axiom buffer". (I guess that should be a buffer in
> [[axiom-mode]], with a running axiom process.)

The axiom command in axiom.el file works so.
Do you want to run several axiom in several buffers ?
Nicolas Thery did it in mupad-run.el.
I hope I can to use this way for axiom.
I'll try to propose :
M-x axiom goes to the *axiom* buffer in which axiom is running.
M-x axiom-other goes to a new *axiom<n>* buffer in which axiom is running.
M-x axiom-mode remains in the same buffer and runs axiom.
M-x axiom-buffer switchs from one axiom buffer to the next one.
Do you have an other idea ?
Then the buffer is seen as an *.input file which will be run after [return]
For this use all variables must be local. It's a curious trick...
And M-x axiom is defined by (switch-to-buffer *axiom*)(axiom-mode).
write another mode which allows input to be sent to the axiom buffer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I'll use the same mode axiom-mode with a new
variable axiom-multi-lines.
If axiom-multi-lines is false :
[return] sends a line which ends with ...._
and emacs waits for the new line as now.
If axiom-multi-lines is true :
[return] doesn't look at underscore _ at the end of the lines.
For this I think I must change the code arround the prompt
About prompt
------------
In axiom-output-filter
I'll add a complex function of tests arround prompt
and add a variable axiom-state :
axiom-state is 'running
or 'usualPrompt (nn) ->
or 'quitPrompt after )q
or 'displayPrompt after )d ...
or 'debugPrompt when UPPERCASE>> or UPPERCASE>>>>
In this function I destroy the double prompt (1)-> if necessary.
Then I use this variable in order to lock or to send the next input
after the [return] command.
If axiom-multi-line is true I add a newline command after the prompt.
So the emacs-buffer begins with a new line.
Have a nice week...
Francois
