Mine is 5, so I have to change it.

Which one? I have one set in /sw/share/TeXmacs/doc (Fink port), another 
one in my cvs repository and finally another one in $HOME/.TeXmacs/. 
They don't exactly match one with the others. And of course, another 
one in the directory I expanded the web site tarball.

Yes, of course :-) But it's a breeze to have the text: one minute or so 
to download the tarball, half an hour to match the already existing 
files in the cvs repository to the files in the tarball (already done 
yesterday) just to have a correct tree, 5 minutes to duplicates two 
arbitrary files (one with branch tags, another with detailed contents) 
in as many files as wanted to have the right tree with some new names 
and make the correct branching, and just a plain select all, copy, 
paste from the browser in Mac OS X (I use Camino) to  TeXmacs under 
XDarwin. Then two minutes per files to change some layout features, 
integrate some macros and check for misspelling. If you ask me, the web 
site was converted into TeXmacs tmdoc format in an hour as far as text 
issues were concerned. Then the most part of the work is to change the 
screenshots. That's why I asked about it.

OK, probably this night.

Well, why is there an example of this on the web site???!!! Here:
 <http://www.texmacs.org/Tutorial/Start/Chapter3.html>
the second image (balloon-2.png). Or did I miss something? Maybe it's 
just a composition of two images?

8- One more question: do you want some screenshots side by side as on 
the web site. For a part, it's nice to have both pictures side by side, 
for other part they can be pretty ugly with a higher shrinking factor. 
At the moment, I've placed them one under the other. I you want me to 
put them side by side, could you tell me how to do this (maybe in a 
table, I really don't know, just a guess).
