I meant, desired behaviour should be:
M-x axiom switches to the buffer *axiom*, if it exists and if it is an "axiom
buffer". (I guess that should be a buffer in axiom-mode, with a
running axiom process.)
If there is no such buffer, it creates a new buffer and a new axiom
process.
(add-hook 'axiom-mode-hook (lambda () (rename-uniquely))) should
rename the buffer. I do not know what else one could use
shell-mode-hook (and therefore axiom-mode-hook) for.
My trouble is, that
(define-derived-mode shell-mode comint-mode "Shell"
...
)
sets so many variables and
(defun shell (&optional buffer)
...
)
does not mention add-hook at all and
shell-mode-hook is only defined as
(defcustom shell-mode-hook '()
"*Hook for customising Shell mode."
:type 'hook
:group 'shell)
so I do not know when which function is called.
Should I make all variables local? I guess, variables introduced with defvar
are intended to be customizable by the user and are global to all buffers in
axiom mode? Other variables, global to each individual buffer are introduced
by make-local-variable?
I guess I should invest another hour or so...
Many thanks for your patience.
Martin

Your current code does the following:
In `axiom-comint-run' you leave it to `make-comint' to create a new
axiom process and return its object.
In `axiom-run' you set `axiom-process' to that object with
(setq axiom-process (get-buffer-process (current-buffer)))
This works because, presumably, you never try to associate a second
process with the current buffer (it could fail miserably if you did).
You define `axiom-process' as a "global" variable, hence it may
reference one and only one "axiom process" at any instant of time. If
you want a couple of axiom processes to coexist simultaneously you have
to make `axiom-process' buffer-local. Then you can try to maintain a
one-to-one correspondence between axiom buffers and axiom processes.

I don't understand what "usually" and "optionally" refer to. You would
have to state precisely what you do currently and what you want to do
differently. `rename-uniquely' simply generates a new name for the
current buffer, it doesn't create a new process. On the other hand you
can always create a new buffer and start a new process from that buffer.

... and puts it in `axiom-mode'. FWIW that's what your code does at the
moment.

Why do you want to rename the buffer?
> Should I make all variables local?
The only variable I can think of at the moment is `axiom-process'.
> I guess, variables introduced with defvar

... `defcustom' serves that purpose ...

A priori a symbol defined as a variable doesn't relate to buffers hence
it "is global".
> Other variables, global to each individual buffer are introduced
> by make-local-variable?
You should defvar them first and make them buffer-local either by using
`make-variable-buffer-local' or, better, `make-local-variable'. A
typical idiom in this context is
(set (make-local-variable 'foo) value)
which makes foo buffer-local and assigns it value.
If you really need multiple axiom processes - so far you didn't tell me
_why_ you need them - you would make `axiom-process' local in the buffer
where you create the process and set it to the process object returned
by comint. Otherwise, I see no need to change anything here.

To be honest, I don't understand this code at all, it's not mine. What I would
like to have is the behaviour of shell mode: usually M-x axiom should switch to
the running axiom, but optionally, something like
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (rename-uniquely)))
or renaming the current axiom buffer should give us a new axiom.
many thanks,
Martin

In `axiom-run' make `axiom-process' buffer local
(set (make-local-variable 'axiom-process)
(get-buffer-process (current-buffer)))
This will render `axiom-buffer' meaningless. Hence, in `axiom' you have
to always make a new process and in `axiom-mode-new-axiom-process' you
should remove things like
(delete-process axiom-process)
(kill-buffer (axiom-buffer))
BTW after killing `axiom-process' which buffer is `axiom-buffer'
supposed to return? Do you really always want to kill the current
buffer here?

Dear emacs gurus,
as I have posted some time ago, I am writing an emacs mode for the free
computer algebra system axiom available at
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/FrontPage
Meanwhile I am quite happy with it, save a few glitches. Maybe some guru here
could help me out. I attach the complete source, hoping not to violate
nettiquette... I start the mode (after M-x load-file Ret axiom.el) with M-x
axiom.
I have three major problems:
* after loading axiom.el, using shell mode is a pain. This is most annoying.
It seems that all the hooks are still there, but I do not know the necessary
magic to remove them. I suppose, there are also some style guidelines?
* if axiom produces a lot of output, and one presses M-p while the output is
being written to the buffer, everything gets messed up. In particular, point
moves to the previous prompt and further output is written *before* that
prompt instead of afterwards. For example, if you have axiom installed,
enter, for example,
for i in 1..20 repeat (output(i); [j for j in 1..5000])
and
press M-p during the computation. I don't understand this behaviour, since I
defined
(defun axiom-scroll-previous-input (&optional arg)
"Fetch the previous input."
(interactive "p")
(unless (axiom-output? (point))
(axiom-previous-prompt)
(comint-set-process-mark)
(comint-previous-input arg)
;; delete the rest
(delete-region (point) (axiom-end-of-input))))
So, before doing anything, I check whether I am in the output region, in
which case I do nothing. Can anyone explain that behaviour? (I also tries
(1- (point)), this didn't make any difference.)
* I cannot get it to run under xemacs. I keep getting ^M characters, and
comint-strip-ctrl-m didn't work for me. I'm completely lost here.
Any help would be *greatly* appreciated, and of course, get your name on the
copyright message.
Many thanks in advance,
Martin

I'm just guessing, based on what you wrote & a quick glance at the
code, but I think you want to set local hooks.

So here you would want:
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'axiom-output-filter nil t)
I don't know the answers to your other questions, sorry.

many thanks, that did the trick.
> I don't know the answers to your other questions, sorry.
well, there remain only two things I don't know how to do. Maybe there are
some more emacs gurus around:
* port to xemacs
* write clean initalisation code. In particular, it should be possible to have
several buffers with different axiom processes, just like in shell mode. I
looked at shell.el, but fail to understand it.
For those who don't want to dig through all the code, I copy the relevant
four routines below. (It's not me who wrote them, and I find them rather
difficult to follow.)
Again, many many thanks
Martin
