In math mode, right-click could include the "Use CAS" menu (the same that is accessible via "Edit"). Also, the Math toolbar or panel (whichever is more appropriate for the job) could have a "Use CAS" button that pops up the same menu.
On the documentation side, the Features [1] page could include something in the lines of: Math/science features > * Support for various Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) On a different note, Features [1] fails to mention Sweave. A rephrasing similar to the one bellow would be nice. Document formats > * Literate programming support, via the "noweb" tool -> * Literate programming support (noweb, Sweave) Back to CAS, couple of years ago I found this document [2] to be a good introduction to LyX with CAS. I could look into making something similar. Please let me know your opinion Liviu [1] http://www.lyx.org/Features [2] http://maxima.sourceforge.net/lyx+maxima.lyx
