Right.

Just replace the keywords function by:

keywords () {
    echo ")what $1" | $EXE > $1.vim
}

And send my the 4 files.

Can you first check, whether

  echo ")what domains" | axiom -nosman

produces anything on your computer. The "-nosman" actually means to
directly call AXIOMsys. So if you do

export AXIOM=...
./keywords.sh $AXIOM/bin/AXIOMsys

(or whereever your AXIOMsys is), it might work.
But perhaps AXIOM has problems with redirects. (I would be surprised.)

Come on, for FriCAS, my keywords.sh script gets already rid of that
garbage automatically. One just has to play a bit with sed.
Semiautomatic stuff is pretty useless.

Could that be added to keywords.sh? Since I don't know vim, I wouldn't
know whether the result is right if I corrected keywords.sh myself.
