Yes, this should work in principle. I don’t have these tools - the point is: you have to wrap the command line utility you can use in terminal. But care for Kornels advice below. > e.g.: > #!/bin/ > sh > > /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel "$@„ The first line „#!/bin/sh“ is another ritual were you shouldn’t be creative :) Don’t break it into multiple lines. The exec in front of the command line utility is again for efficiency. The shell process created by LyX to start the CAS utility will be replaced by the CAS utility instead of creating another child process. > > for mathematica and > #!/bin/ > sh > > /Applications/Maple 18/Maple 18.app/Contents/MacOS/Maple 18 "$@" > > Again, a million thanks! > Paola You’re welcome.

In case of maxima it was not required to quote the path name because it doesn’t contain spaces. Regards, Stephan
