Hm, I believe I voted for:

1) modify the axiom script to transform

     axiom --document=foo bar etc

   into a call

     document --foo=bar etc

   furthermore
 
     axiom --document=foo bar
 
   into a call
 
     document --foo bar
 
   and finally
 
     axiom --document bar
 
   into 
 
     document bar

2) and install *.spad.pamphlet instead of *.spad into
   target/i686-pc-linux/src/algebra/
 
   That this didn't happen in the first place is *really* strange in my
   opinion.

3) apart of that, install the SPADEDIT script into target/i686-pc-linux/lib/

   I'll have to modify it a tiny little bit if you agree on (2).  In
   particular, it may make sense to make it obey an environment variable, say,
   AXIOMEDITOR, that contains the name of an editor to be called with two
   arguments, namely line-number and filename.

   However, I believe that any script is better than no script, because many
   people will not have write access to the target/i686-pc-linux/lib/
   directory, so they cannot use the HyperDoc functionality.


Well, I do not insist on (3). But (1) and (2) would be important to me.
