mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Frank <address@hidden>]

The "Enter" thing is more a feature of interactive system: you are 
interacting with TeXmacs rather than pass a segment of source code to it.

The combination of "/" and "\" to \land is of a different nature: it is 
more or less a keybinding of the editor (note that text editors are also 
configurable: say, especially if you have experience of latexsuite in 
vim, one can set up similar keybindings). I believe that this behavior 
should be customizable, but I don't know how. Maybe others in this 
mailing list are capable to answer this.
