Unfortunately Texmacs does not recognise the current version of Maxima that I have installed separately on the same computer (over XP). Is there any additional work that needs to be completed to get Maxima appear and working in Texmacs? I am new to this stuff. I have browsed Internet without any luck. Any idea or hint will be warmly received.

Not knowing cygwin, I don't know which versions of texmacs and of maxima 
you are trying to use. But the latest texmacs release 1.0.6.14 does 
indeed not recognize the latest maxima release 5.15. If this is your 
problem, you can solve it by editing two text files in your texmacs 
distribution:

The file names are "tm_maxima" and "maxima_detect". Find them and open 
them in a text editor. There is a list of maxima versions in both of 
them. It is pretty obvious how to add the missing version to these lists.
