'maxima' has a scripting language of her own, and it wasn't too dificult for me 
to learn some basic things about it.

I am using 'maxima' for symbolic manipulations, and some Perl after it to do 
some "replication" (I need to convert two similarly looking expressions, so I 
do the conversion for one and generate the other from the first one) and name 
substitution.

The later can be done in 'maxima' herself, but I know Perl much better than 
'maxima'.

  Sergei.
