However, TeXmacs is an interface to cas programs ( maxima, maple, 
mupad), and Lyx is not. 
I use texmacs for this feature, and exporting the texmacs file to latex 
is satisfactory, because the results of the cas programs are printed. 
So the export to tex must be keeped.

I think that in the future it will be useful to have a direct convertion 
from tm to pdf.

Best regards
