  <tmdoc-title|Using GNU <TeXmacs> as an interface>

  An important feature of <TeXmacs> is it's ability to communicate with
  extern systems. For computer algebra systems or other scientific
  computation systems, this is typically done in shell-like sessions, in
  which it is possible to evaluate commands and display the results in a
  nice, graphical way. Some systems can also be used more in the background
  as scripting languages.

  See <menu|Help|Plug-ins> for a list of existing plug-ins and more
  documentation on these systems.
