In this case the failing export was due to a macro definition making the 
converter crash, I think. If you select "Expand user-defined macros" 
(copying from the TeXmacs documentation at 
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-convert.en.html) "all macro 
definitions in your document will be ignored and all macro applications 
will be expanded." (I looked for this after your post ;-) )

So if the only point at which conversion fails is the definition of a 
macro, "Expand user-defined macros" will allow the conversion to 
succeed; maybe this is the solution that you want to apply.

You find "Expand user-defined macros" under Edit->Preferences, then tab 
Convert and then tab LaTeX

On the other hand, I would first verify if the export works with "Expand 
user-defined macros" off, because it is quite likely that there are just 
a few macro definitions where it fails, and having macro definitions 
converted makes the exported LaTeX file easier to read.

There is a Scheme function called kbd-map. In *my* opinion it is better 
to start another thread for that, because it will be more clear.
