Dear William,

first of all, thank you for your patience!

roughly: (I put 

  )lib HYPER
  )lisp (load "hyper.lisp")
  SOCKET(8080, getDocumentation$HyperDoc)$Lisp

into a file hyper.input)

(no more output after that.  In particular, you need another axiom process to
do computations afterwards, but that's a bug, not a feature...)

It should start tex4ht in the axiom console...

Hm, I don't have any MS Windows, and I don't know what that means.  Maybe you
could say

  )lisp (si:use-fast-links nil)

and

  )set break break

before starting SOCKET, after the error it should fall into a debugger, type

  :bt

and send the result to the list and to Camm (including a copy of hyper.lisp).
But I'm unlikely to be able to help.  In particular, this probably means that
my work was wasted, since it does not seem to work on windows. :-(
