Joris, and to all

I just compiled the new SURPRISE! version of texmacs. The # shortcut is allready a "must have". I have to learn how to draw the curve of a function with Scheme. I googled without success but got some pdf to read :)

Thanks for the reactivity.

Best,

Marc

 that's a great idea! Just this morning I showed to my 13yo son how to use TeXmacs to type in his math exercises... he seems appreciate the better quality wrt to Word :)
