  As a newbie I have tried to follow the instructions in Joris' paper (which
  is very nice and instructive). I've also added a few other ``findings''
  about the program (the Windows version).

  \;

  I start by typing tmwin in d:<inactive|<hybrid|>> and I subsequently save
  this file. I had expected (and hoped) the file to be saved in
  d:<inactive|<hybrid|>> but that is not the case.\ 

  - Perhaps that could be changed?\ 

  - Perhaps the save directory could be written on the bottom of the page
  when I type C-x C-s?

  \;

  I export to latex and compile. I note that the Danish letter 'ø' disappears
  in in the latex doc (because there is no
  <inactive|<hybrid|usepackage{isolatin1}>>) command in the latex doc. When I
  include\ 

  - Perhaps texmacs can be configured so that certain things go into the
  preamble in a corresponding tex document?

  - Perhaps it would be an idea if there was an option so that one could
  export as latex only the source, (everything between begin{document} and
  end{document}) and perhaps at the same time export the macros etc. in a
  separate file. (The reason for this suggestion is that I envision that it
  will take a while before I start using texmacs for writing whole papers,
  but I can see straight ahead that I would like to use texmacs as a frontend
  for various computer algebra programs...)\ 

  - On a similar note: If I include maxima-stuff and export to latex, then I
  can't compile because of usepackage{maxima} (which is not a package in
  Miktex) and because of the mathrm command. \ This however, I redefine as
  renewcommand{mathrm}{}

  \;

  It would be very nice if there was a key for jumping to the end of an
  environment so that one would not need to grab the mouse and move the
  cursor to the far right on the screen?

  \;

  Is there a way of invoking the menu using the keyboard? For example, on
  windows programs, alt-F will usually cause the 'File' menu to drop down and
  using the arrows one can then choose the desired action. If there is such a
  facility, then it could be mentioned.\

  A few specific comments for the article:

  <\itemize>
    <item>Page 2 on Windows versus Linux versions: It is clear that this is
    not a Windows product, but I don't know what to make of the sentence:
    ``... if you have the choice ... recommend the Linux version''. Why? Is
    that because the windows version is not good, not as thoroughly tested,
    always lacking behind? Perhaps a comment on texmacs under cygwin would be
    in place

    <item>Page 3: Why write A-1 when you really mean Alt-1

    <item>Page 5, top: These shortcuts could be part of the bullet
    environment too...

    <item>Page 5, enumeration 5 (bottom) on creation of matrices: Slightly
    unclear sentence
