It' fairly easy to do :
- if you open the file bin/tm_pstricks in an text editor, you will find
some basic doc, and that the temporary files are made in
~/.TeXmacs/system/tmp.
- a closer look at the code (lines 83,84) shows that two essential files
are available in system/tmp on each script invocation :
  * input.txt => translation of the commands from TeXmacs
  * TMPpstricksTMP.tex => file compiled by LateX

You can then "tweak" the script if it doesn't work on your system...

If you modify the script, you must break the read-eval-print loop of the
script (lines 67->100). This is easily done by closing the PStricks
session in TeXmacs (button #6 on the session toolbar, scissors)

Regard, and good luck
