Hello,
I just started using texmacs about a week ago. This past week
I used it for a presentation (I used latex before). I find it
great.

The presentation came out fine. However I missed the use of the
minipage environment. That was the way I used to put stuff
side-by-side in Latex (for example, a figure and its comments).
The only way I found to do that in texmacs is to enter the two-colum
environment, but that seems to be a clumsy way to do it.
Does anybody know of a good substitute for minipage, or parbox,
in TeXmacs?

One cannot freely superpose chunks of texts in TeXmacs
like in LaTeX. The closest approximation to this is to
insert a graphics (Insert->Image->Draw image), and
insert Text boxes in the graphics (possibly using tables
with multiline hyphenations to be able to input multiline
text inside the text boxes). Have a look at :
http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~henri/texmacs/aTeXmacsGraphicsTutorial.pdf

for a more extended tutorial about graphics in TeXmacs.
