Oh dear.  Is there an ascii character which is forbidden in Axiom and left
unchanged by every browser?  Or, otherwise, is there a simple solution to make
Lisp keep the case? Currently I use vertical bars and

         (fn (and (eq get 'get) 
                  (subseq (string (read s nil 'eof)) 1))))

but I think that this is not satisfactory.

Oh, did you write Eitan?

Yes, that's just what Greg explained.  The cure is to find another character
which is forbidden in Axiom and left unchanged by your browser (and preferably,
by any browser), and replace the "`" in line 46 of hyper.spad by that symbol.

           ls := split(s, char "`")

I did not check, but maybe "_" would be ok.  I chose "`" since it is used by
axiom as separator in the database, and I thought I'd better be consistent.

It does not matter what separator one uses in line 26:

            s: String := concat([op.'name, "`", op.'type, "`", op.'origin])

It is only important, that different name, type, origin triples are mapped to
different string.
