I got this to work, except that the ivt.tm paper gives me an error:

        Fatal error: No active view in 'tm_server_rep::get_meta'

If I just open the same paper from texmacs.org/Examples,
the file does open up correctly...

I tried to save a local TeXmacs file to alqua too,
but this does not seem to work either in a way one expects...
I think that this is a recurrent problem with Zope:
the ideas seem very nice, but I always have trouble,
even for simple operations.
