Hi,

First I would like to say that although I am an avid LaTeX user I was
drawn to TeXmacs because it had the ability to to integrate CAS into the
document. This is especially helpful for teachers wishing to
demonstrate how to use software.

Soon I will be teaching a course that will involve some Octave work. I
have been trying to configure an Octave session but have not had too
much luck. I have followed the instruction included with TeXmacs as
well as the quick how-to on the Wikki. IT seems there have been a few
other people interested in this feature but haven't found any info about
someone actually getting it to work.

In summary I created a personal my-init-texmacs.scm file to generate a
new menu entry under sessions for Octave. Then I edited program.ts in
the main TeXmacs path to add the style functions for the interface (Is
there a way that I can place these changes in my personal .Texmacs
directory? --- easier for me to keep track when upgrading). <see below
for the actual files>

When I fire up TeXmacs after making these modifications the whole
session menu disappears from the insert menu. When I use my old
program.ts then the session menu appears with Octave. Of course if I
run it then TeXmacs just complains since it doesn't know how to interact
with octave.

Any suggestions?

I am using TeXmacs V. 1.0.0.1 on Debian Woody w/ kernel 2.4.18
All of the build in sessions work (ie maxima).

Thanks

Anthony A. Tanbakuchi
