  Hi,

  Sorry if it is off topic (currently I am not subscribed to
axiom-developer).

  I updated the mandriva gcl and axiom packages some time ago. You can
see the files at:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/axiom/current/

  What would be the proper way to setup a single script to start, or
open a tab in, firefox from axiom? That is run something like:
firefox -remote
'openURL(localhost:8085/usr/lib64/axiom-3.4/doc/hypertex/topicspage.xhtml)'
once the ')browse' command was run.

  Something like running 'notebook()' in sagemath, or the command line
option 'sage -notebook'
