Here is a new revision of math.el for Mathematica version 2.0. It provides a mode for running Mathematica under Gnu Emacs to achieve functionality somewhat similar to the notebook interface available on the Macintosh. It maintains compatibility with 1.2 whereever possible. I've added a command C-c C-k that will kill an unwanted cell. Also the remote execution facility now sets the DISPLAY variable on the remote host. -- David Jacobson =============== ;; math.el, a mode package for Mathematica. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; Copyright (c) 1990, 1991, 1992 Hewlett-Packard Company, all rights reserved. ;; ;; LEGAL NOTICE ;; ;; This math-mode package is experimental and HP shall have no obligation to ;; maintain or support it.

In most other ;; conditions, unexpected output indicates an error of one sort or ;; another has occurred. Two such messages are General::spell, ;; indicating a suspected spelling error, and Syntax::newl, indicating ;; that a newline has been interpreted as a multiplication operator. ;; ;; There are several approaches to this problem: ;; 1. Avoid the constructs that lead to it. ;; 2. Turn off the messages. ;; 3. Persuade WRI to change the interface. ;; 4. Workaround it. When it occurs ;; a. Move to a blank line and type ESC RET. This will send a newline ;; to the Mathematica process and cause it to flush its input ;; and reissue the prompt. ;; b. Cut away the message and new prompt. ;; c. Fix the input, if necessary (it is not necessary for ;; General::Spell), and resubmit the cell. ;; ;; The whole system for running Mathematica on a remote host is rather ;; unreliable. If the built-in facilities don't work, try setting ;; math-process-string to point to a shell script (or compiled program,for ;; that matter), which you can then work with freely. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (provide 'math) (require 'shell) (defvar Mathematica-search-path (list nil (getenv "HOME") "/usr/local/math/StartUp" "/usr/local/math/Packages") "*A list of directories in which to look for files.
