Yes. They are by hand. We have to give presentations once a week
and turn in reports and treat this as a traditional software
engineering project so we need diagrams for what we do. Obviously,
since our work is connected to LyX it makes sense to show them both
on the same diagram. Also, laying them out makes it easier to get
the big picture of how everything works.
After we get everything setup for usefull text interaction with MuPAD
(session keepalive, pipes, multiple sessions) we can start dealing with
converting between different formats. MuPAD has a class for laying out
it's response in LaTeX. Our thoughts are that we can use the function
that mathed uses to read in the .lyx file to get MuPAD's results into a
mathed inset in the user's document.

There are rumors that MuPAD will support OpenMath/MathML. It supports
ASAP and MP. There might be a OpenMath/MathML <-->ASAP or MP translator
somewhere out there.
www.openmath.org has LaTeX<-->OpenMath translator demos. They also
have a C library for doing OpenMath stuff which is under INRIA's open
source license. It might be possible to use their translators since
mathed already speaks LaTeX.
