Maybe "Symbolic computations", but this is not very good either. Note that you should remove the "..." anyway. Note also that, if you have problems naming a feature, then maybe this feature is not well defined :) Actually, the code in lib/configure should probably test for what CAS is available and have a uniform interface for all CAS by default. This is like our VC code, which works the same for cvs and rcs. I would like to be able to invoke "math-extern simplify" and have lyx call some CAS and do the simplification. You can keep the more specific "math-extern maple foo" for when people really know the precise operation they want to do. Then you could have a menu entry like "Simplify expression". JMarc
