Concerning the thought part below, I just reproduced it so that others can comment on it. Personnally, I agree that some message should be returned on success, but there may be some applications which rely on the fact that nothing is returned. So, fellow developpers, any idea? In order to

Hi,is it possible to create plugins for LyX? Unfortunately, there is no fixed architechture for this kind of thing, yet. I was thinking along the lines of adding a plugin that interfaces with the CAS I am currently making (http://www.xs4all.nl/~apinkus/yacas.html) and can then be loaded

Kernel 0.6: No more segfaults

Hi! Kernel 0.6 is attached. The segfault has been fixed properly, and insert and erase is done. I only need to implement "clone" and test/debug everything in order to reach milestone 1: Design, implementation and documentation of the data structure layer. This will surely be done before ~M.
