I found a bug(?) in tm_asy:
 $ASY -o $TEMP_DIR/$TEMP_PS_NAME $TEMP_DIR/$TEMP_ASY_NAME
whatever the vaule of $TEMP_DIR was set, the ps file created by "asy" is
always placed in
the directory of work file being opened. And this will cause some trouble
within TeXmacs
session. Suggestion is : remove the $TEMP_DIR before $TEMP_PS_NAME above and
the last line in tm_asy.

Another minor inconsistence between TeXmacs and asy is:
asy allows to use TeX syntex to input math symbols, for instance: \frac{}{}
for fraction, but backslash will be ignored in TeXmacs asy session.

The compilation for Asy needs gc6.6. But you have to "make clean" after
installing and put under the asy source dir, otherwise  "make" for asy  will
occur the gc test error.
