You're right, there is not much that's not already integrated in TeXmacs. On the other hand, as a frequent Tm user, I'd suggest to update the folder and even considering to fill it with useful addons instead ;) There is no doubt, Tm has dramatically improved in the past years and the fricas interface should not be left out in the cold. There are interesting features, like serializing and so on, which seem unique to me.
On this occasion I suggest to think about the "prompt" and the display of types - not very nice from an aesthetic point of view. A first step could be to rewrite the "markers" in the fricas start script, then one could edit various items more easily: markers=$(cat << EOF )lisp (setf |\$ioHook| (lambda (x &optional args) (cond ((eq x '|startPrompt|) (princ (concat (code-char 2) "prompt\#") )) ((eq x '|endOfTeXmacsOutput|) (princ (concat (code-char 5) (code-char 10)))) ((eq x '|startTeXmacsOutput|) (princ (code-char 2))) ((eq x '|startKeyedMsg|) (princ (concat (code-char 2) "verbatim:"))) ((eq x '|endOfKeyedMsg|) (princ (code-char 5))) ((eq x '|endOfPrompt|) (princ (code-char 5) )) ))) EOF ) So, just as an a example, the user could set some variables to control the output items mentioned above. ############################################################################# cc2="(code-char 2)" cc5="(code-char 5)" cc10="(code-char 10)" #msgbeg="\"html:<p><sub>\"" #msgend="\"</sub></p>\"" msgbeg="\"latex:{}_{\\\\textsf{\"" msgend="\"}}\"" markers=$(cat << EOF )lisp (setf |\$ioHook| (lambda (x &optional args) (cond ((eq x '|startPrompt|) (princ (concat $cc2 "prompt\#"))) ((eq x '|endOfTeXmacsOutput|) (princ (concat $cc5 $cc10))) ((eq x '|startTeXmacsOutput|) (princ $cc2)) ((eq x '|startKeyedMsg|) (princ (concat $cc2 $msgbeg))) ((eq x '|endOfKeyedMsg|) (princ (concat $msgend $cc5 $cc10))) ((eq x '|endOfPrompt|) (princ $cc5))))) EOF ) ############################################################################## Obvioulsy, this is not as user friendly as it should be, however, most features can also be controlled by a spad file. To bring it back to your question, it's perhaps more favourable to handle these things outside the fricas distribution (changed my mind during writing ;).
