I have Kubuntu Dapper (i.e., a debian variant), emacs 21.4.1, axiom wh-sandbox (very recent) > Are there any Emacs gurus on the list who would be interested enough to take > over the project?

Just another idea: M-up could get you into output "mode", and in that "mode", some ordinary keys have a different meaning: b for blue foreground, B for blue background, g for green, r for red, space for black, etc. That would really be a killer app! None of the current interfaces for maple, mathematica, mupad, etc. is able to do that! I beg you to look at it! > It was sort of a "notebook in textmode" as far as concept went. I think you shouldn't go further with the notebook idea. It's cute that invalid input turns red (unfortunately undo (M-_) doesn't turn it black anymore), but I'd really leave it at that. > > * I'd really like to have an easy way to send definitions etc. from one > > buffer (containing a .input file) to an axiom process.

(Yuck.) Well, just get over it :-) Don't try to make it perfect! Yes it should work, but for the moment, it's more important to make life with axiom more comfy. > I'm not really that crazy about Emacs based on my experiences to date > with it, but I am! Only, I think my abilities would be rather badly employed by trying to mess with emacs modes.
