Hello,

FriCAS just cloned, commit (1b5c139) and installed with
--prefix=/home/user/.local

Looking at the different output modes in FriCAS, I tried the
showeditor option, output from ')show' in an editor.

GVim:

(1) -> )sh SINT
Unable to open directory to be removed
rmdir failed: Not a directory
Unable to open directory to be removed
rmdir failed: Not a directory
(1) ->

It's removing "SHOW.LISTING".  It should be rm instead of rmdir.

Directly two empty gvim (gvim is not supported, I know).

gvim should be supported, see bellow.

With export FRICASEDITOR=emacs

The documentation for ')help edit' is wrong, you should set like this:

export FRICASEDITOR='emacs $name'


BTW: do you happen to know a very simple graphical text editor, with
very few libraries needed, compatible. Opening something with a 14''
laptop in an xterm becomes illisible to (too small fonts by default
and not very practical). Using Windows has some goodness... I have no
Linux desktop environment and I do not need one in WSL.


Like I said above, gvim or emacs or another GUI text editor should work,
the key is to include '$name' in FRICASEDITOR.

On the other hand, you can config xterm to use bigger fonts, so that
'less' can be shown with bigger fonts.
