Then it's weird that I haven't noticed it, I've been lurking for quite a 
while...

Which one exactly? I didn't succeed to extract this information from the 
manual. And it's not in the chapter "links and automatically generated 
content" (I looked for "return" or "enter"). Do you mean the manual that 
comes with TeXmacs, or is there another one?

Well, it doesn't cost that much time to just have a channel open, check 
what's 
happening there once in 2 hours and answer a question once in a while... And 
it's a good way to increase the knowledge of TeXmacs users at the same time. 
So that the next time someone else can answer the question.
