This is strange. I tried to find out where any configuration of command for CAS may lay, and I do not found any. I suspect that if in Windows the maxima command is .bat, LyX has to launch it with proper call to cmd.exe - the Windows' command interpreter. This is because new threaded command launched uses exec() call to launch external tools. -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl
