I've got lyx set up so that it can use the computer algebra system octave, so I know that it's possible to do this; but I can't seem to get it to work with maple. (In mathed I type 1+2 then do Edit -> math-> Use Computer Algebra -> maple,simplify and I get an equal sign but no result).

I've added the location of maple's executables to my Lyx Path (just as I did with octave). Could the problem be (a) that the path is a bit unusual in that it ends with ...\bin.win ; or (b) that the main executables aren't named maple.exe, but rather something like cmaple9.5.exe? What is Lyx trying to run when it receives a computer algebra command involving maple? I could always make an additional copy of the relevant exe under a new name, if I know which of the various maple exe's lyx wanted.

Thanks for any help here!
