I think there's a problem with last patches (20/06 and 21/06)... I get=20
errors when opening the .patch (after gunzip) with an editor or with the=20
patch commad ("only garbage ..."). But previous ones seem to work.

I've seen a terminal in maxima based on tcl/tk. It used a small window=20
to give scale and other options to the user... It was not really=20
pleasant to the eyes, but the idea seemed interesting.

I will try your patch as soon as I can open it !
