I've found that the best way to use Maxima with LyX is to write all of
the maxima commands in a comment box in LyX. I write them as if I were
writing a batch file for Maxima. Then I simply copy and paste them
into a maxima session. The last commands in a particular code block
ask Maxima for a TeX version of the output. I then copy of the TeX
output from Maxima and paste it into my LyX document inside and
equation environment. Kind of klunky but it works. Also, the code
that I used in Maxima is always available if I need to change something.

Hello,
I'm trying to use the option "Use Computer Algebra System" under the
Edit
menu. I did have partial success using Maxima, but it only works
when the
expression I want to calculate is in it's own math box. I want it to
calculate the latest part of my math calculations. like
a = b*c = 6*7
but when I use maxima on the former line, I get
a = a
as it only reacts to the first part of the equation.
Besides solving this problem, is there anywhere a documentation of
this
option, anywhere?
