Oh, HyperDoc does not appear when started from within Axiom? I'd call that a bug. (I'm not using TeXmacs, anybody out there who knows?) However, it is not so inconvenient as you might think. When Axiom is doing a big calculation, HyperDoc becomes unresponsive. Thus I often start a second Axiom, to do some browsing while I let Axiom compute. Maybe you want to write a tiny shell script like ## call this file axiom and put it into your private ~/bin directory ########## #! /bin/bash $AXIOM/bin/axiom $AXIOM/bin/axiom $@ ############################################################################### (i.e., first start axiom without any parameters, which you will use for HyperDoc browsing, then start the "real" axiom process, which TeXmacs will use.) > And how do Windows users get their Axiom help? They don't :-(. It's too sad, but we have not found a programmer who is either * willing to port HyperDoc to MS Windows (HyperDoc relies on X) or * willing to write a HyperDoc replacement as outlined in http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SummerOfCode2007 and many many long email discussions. If you have somebody handy, please tell me immediately. We can even pay a (very) symbolic amount of money. If he decides today (deadline is April 11), he probably can do it as a Summer of Code project and earn 4500$. In this case he should apply here: http://lispnyc.org/soc.clp and mention Martin Rubey as (inofficial) co-mentor.
