That depends on what you do. The integration of Scheme packages into
TeXmacs should be easy, because TeXmacs also uses Scheme as its extension
language. I imagine that, at a first stage, you would like to output and
input formulas in a nice way. The first thing you may therefore wish to
do is to write a routine which transforms data objects from your system
into TeXmacs trees. We may next try to adapt the Scheme sessions so as
to make it possible to display the results (for instance, by displaying
tree results as trees; I will have to think a bit about this, because
we have only used pipe-connections so far). In any case, I recommend to
read the documentation on the TeXmacs data format and on plug-ins.
By the way, do you use a CLOS-like system?
