Re: Announcing Version 5.50

Maxima on wasm is very impressive!

A few issues/questions:

* Is there some way to interrupt a computation? (like control-C)
* Some errors display  \verb is only supported in math mode , e.g., *rat()*
* *? *works, but *?? *doesn't (gives Lisp error)
* No handy input scrolling (uparrow, etc.)
* copying of output uses non-ASCII characters and non-Maxima syntax so
can't be pasted into an input line

Where is the relationship between https://maxima-on-wasm.pages.dev/ and
https://gitlab.com/spaghettisalat/maxima-on-wasm and
https://github.com/nindanaoto/maxima-wasm/ ?

Where should feedback be sent?
