I still would like something like a -read option or even something
like

  fricas -c "fricas commands here"

but concerning .fricas.input file, one could use pipes. Just something
like

(plugin-configure fricas
  (:require (url-exists-in-path? "fricas"))
  (:launch "cat ~/.TeXmacs/plugins/fricas/.fricas.input - | fricas -
nosman")
  (:session "FriCAS"))

as ~/.TeXmacs/plugins/fricas/progs/init-fricas.scm .
I have no file ~/.fricas.input. This file lives inside the
~/.TeXmacs/plugins/fricas/ subdir.

The only problem I can see at the moment is that typing ")quit" inside
a texmacs fricas session will hang the fricas session, since the
fricas
process is terminated but the cat command (and therefore texmacs)
doesn't recognise that fricas is now dead and so will wait for further
input.
It shows "Busy..." and the session cannot be restarted.

That looks like a corner case, but I'd rather like a proper solution.
