Hi,

I have some questions concerning the TeXmacs plugin system. Starting 
from the Octave plugin, I made myself a plugin for a functional language 
interpreter. I redefined the interpreter's prompts so that they are 
recognized, and the input and output is rendered verbatim all right. 
However, the last newline of the interpreter's output causes an empty 
line at the end of each output field. Is there a way to get rid of this?

Also, is there a way to redefine the formatting attributes of the input 
fields, maybe a style setting or something? Currently the input fields 
have a blue foreground color, but I'd like them to be black and in 
boldface instead. (I'm using this to write a book which will presumably 
be printed in black and white, so the blue color does not help.)

Finally, is there a way to have TeXmacs use the interpreter's completion 
feature? Just like Octave, my interpreter has a `completion_matches' 
command that could be used for this purpose, but I have no idea how to 
use this in the plugin. Maybe someone has some working Scheme code that 
shows how to do this? Or will I have to write a wrapper around the 
interpreter to accomplish this?

I'd also appreciate any pointers to technical docs about the inner 
workings of the TeXmacs session system, that would help a lot to figure 
out things. Currently I'm just hacking on existing code without any real 
knowledge of what is going on. ;-)

Many thanks in advance,
Albert Graef
