Kurt,

Sorry it has taken me some time to reply.  I think what you have done
so far is great and I would like to get even this "pre-release"
version installed globally on SMC as soon as possible.

I have only played with this a little but so far I have not found any problems.

This worked flawlessly.

Probably the best this to do would be to try to get these included in
the CodeMirror distribution but I think William Stein would be willing
to install them as-is in any case.  I would also like these to be
available in the SMC SageWorksheets.

The quality of the GLE output looks great to me!  Can I do that using
the fricas_jupyter install already?

BTW, the jDraw stuff in Jupyter.spad (JUPY) looks nice to me. Is there
a way to use in without the compile?

Of course one thing that we still miss is interactively handling 3-D
graphics. And since I have been using Sage in SageWorksheet on SMC a
bit recently, I also miss easy access to animation. This requires some
browser-side support but I imagine that there must be something
already somewhere in Jyputer that supports this. Do you know?
