I use a system called MathType for the Macintosh that does a
decent job of editing and manipulating mathematical equations.
As far as I know, you can't hook it up to any symbolic manipulator
programs.  Some people in the research labs at Tektronix had a
very nice mathematics editor called MathScribe that is written in
Common Lisp.  They have published at least one paper on it at the
ACM conference on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation in 86.  I
think that there are a number of research groups working in this
area.  They tend to be a part of the scientific computing community,
and not the AI, software engineering, or human interface community.
