Hi.  I've just noticed that LyX 1.3.6 has now support for some Computer 
Algebra Systems (Octave, Maxima, Mathematica and Maple are the ones listed in 
Edit -> Math -> Use Computer Algebra System.

This is a most awaited feature, and I often wavered between LyX and TeXmacs 
because, although I'm much more used to the first, only the second has been 
providing this resource.  If LyX is now providing support for CAS (specially 
the free ones), it's just great!  That combined with the really cool feature 
of dynamic rendering of printer-quality mathematical symbols could make me 
keep on using LyX till the end of eternity!

Congrats for you guys that are integrating these really useful features into 
LyX.

However, it seems that there's no reference for the use of CAS in LyX either 
in the User Guide or in the Extended Features guide.  Where can I find a 
tutorial or something like that?

Thanks.
