I don't understand you guys. Of course, it would be good to have a

appears, but isn't
(:launch "cd ~/.TeXmacs/plugins/fricas; fricas -nosman")
enough to start FriCAS from TeXmacs in an appropriate way?
The user will expect that his normal .fricas.input is loaded before the
session, but it is not.
Of course a fricas user might expect that the current working directory
does not change, i.e. he might expect that the fricas working directory is
the same as from where he started texmacs.
Exactly!
But honestly, I wouldn't trust
that assumption if I start another program (fricas) from within a program
(texmacs).
Only if the implementation is broken.
Furthermore, doing in fricas something that involves interaction
with the filesystem is probably not the primary use case.
I think it is. A user edits some file in emacs, and than from fricas
(inside texmacs) says
)read myfile.input
Isn't this a typical use case?
