Hi Paul,

I've now upgraded to Emacs 24.3.1 and played a bit with your 
axiom-environment.

First a short remark. I think it is a really big drawback that your mode is 
only for Emacs24, because even on Ubuntu 13.10 an "apt-get install emacs" 
will install Emacs23. I explicitly had to say "apt-get install emacs24".
That in turn means, the FriCAS project cannot simply try to take your code 
as the basis for efricas.

I haven't really played long enough with your emacs mode to be able to say 
deep things, but the source code itself looks quite nice. In fact, I wonder 
whether you would be interested to write something similar for editing 
aldor files.
I have hacked together an aldor-mode (http://hemmecke.org/aldor/emacs). 
Works for me, but it's actually not as nicely written as your 
axiom-environment code.

Looking into themes/fricas-on-sbcl-theme.el shows me that you seem to rely 
on the fricas promt having the form
  (nnn) ->
Probably OK, but I guess, it would be better to do similar to what Martin 
Rubey has done in the current underlying efricas mode, i.e. to use the hook 
mechanism of fricas to inject some special character sequences into the 
output so that finding the prompt would be more reliable. However, maybe 
it's unnecessary.

What would be cool... if editing .input files, it should be possible to 
type something like Ctrl-ENTER to send the current line to a fricas 
session. Even more cool, if I could thus send a multiline function 
definition.
