Well, this is explained at several places in the documentation.
Furthermore, a message appears on the footer when pressing M-! or M-?.
But maybe this is not enough...

I could not reproduce this in today's TeXmacs 1.0.5.5.

Alain Herreman <address@hidden> implemented such a feature
in the "satellite" plug-in available by CVS, but did not have time to keep
it up-to-date. If you can convince him to make the necessary updates and/or
improvements, then this facility can be included in the main distribution.
