It's not what I would call finished, but it should be functional.  The
pamphlet is at http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxAxiomEmacsMode

Install it like any other emacs mode - usually
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp is where I put it.

I stick this in my .emacs file:
(autoload 'axiom-mode "axiom" "Axiom mode" t)

and then launch with 

emacs -f axiom-mode  (handy if you want to make a menu entry starting
up Axiom in emacs, for example - obviously you can start it in Emacs as
well).

I have run it successfully on Windows (except for a bug in overlays
which prevents turning the input red on alteration from working as
expected) but I don't have a handy install.exe with it all bundled -
that might be something worth putting together the next time we get
around to a Windows release.  (Given we don't have hyperdoc for Windows
and the Windows command line is not likely to be comfortable for most
users...)
