Things like that work (rudimentarily) already for Maple and Octave in 1.2.0. The missing Mathematica support results mainly from me not being able to get Mma up and running on my Linux box. I have a licenced copy in reach and it looks as though it contains a Windows and Solaris version on the CDs but failed to install it on Linux (can't remember what went wrong exactly). > So, where can find the list with explanations of the lyx's commands.
