You certainly know that calling "fricas -nosman" is equivalent to
calling FRICASsys directly, but with the right environment variables
(FRICAS) set.

Come on, you should know that AXIOM was invented before they started the
convention that only single letter options should have just one dash.
It's "-nox" and not "--nox".
But be careful. If you want to use it in connection with jfricas, Kurt
realized that it will hang when you try to draw something. Honestly, I
haven't actually tested this situation.
And unfortuately, if you want to use "fricas -nosman" instead, that is
something that did not work on my computer. As you see in
fricaskernel.py, for me it worked with
pid = Popen(['gnome-terminal', '--title=jfricas', '--'] +
['fricas','-nosman','-eval',prereq,'-eval',start])
If it works on your side without putting the first list (gnome-terminal)
in front, I would be happy to learn about your setup.

Yes, I'll prepare a pull request for it. Or are you quicker?

I also don't know. Nobody has complained up to now. ;-)

Right.
