Oho from
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/TeXmacs
I see that you have (re)written tm_axiom. Cool.
How come that this is *not* a literate program?

I don't understand C very well, so it would take me ages until I get an 
idea what the program does, except that I know that it establishes the 
texmacs <---> axiom connection. That sources are not very helpful for 
me. :-(

I only see that TeXmacs' tm_axiom and the one of Bill Page start AXIOMsys.

Oh, since I haven't changed tm_axiom, it should still call AXIOMsys, so 
there would be another reason for the "Unexpected End".

Anywaym, I feel unable to correct that myself. :-(
