For my ears (well, eyes :-) this sounds like an insult. (and I'm certainly not a maxima developer.) Why don't you just say something like: | The problem is that Maxima assumes that a user is at the terminal | answering questions. (By the way, Christian Krattenthaler's hyp and hyp.q for mathematica are two brilliant packages that assume the very same thing. This doesn't make the package less brilliant) I can imagine (but I don't know) that the maxima developers are unwilling (or even unable) to change that behaviour. In this case one could state precisely this: | And the maxima developers are unwilling/unable to change this | behaviour. Statements like the one above are one of the reasons I am unwilling to really join sage.
