I just saw this, in fact the "Shell" plugin is now buggy,
not only for Macaulay, but as soon as commands are not
one-shot commands, it doesn't work anymore ;-(...


That's annoying, all this means that there is a problem
in the connection between Macaulay2 and TeXmacs, whether
the root cause is in the version of TeXmacs, or either
in the version of Macaulay2, this I don't know.


As for me, I run the version 0.9.2 of Macaulay 2, and it
works perfectly with the very last development version of
TeXmacs (1.0.6.12.).

Another thing : Macaulay 2 was crashing recently, I
remember I had to reinstall / reinitialize it by means
of running "./setup" from inside the Macaulay/lib in
the directories of the M2 distribution. Perhaps should
you try this ?
