I have attached two perl scripts that I wrote to make instantaneous
transitions to/from MathAction and Axiom input files. I attached
the example file quatsandbox which was copy/pasted from your
sandbox and used in the demo executed below::

  ~/axiom/perl$ ./mathaction2input quatsandbox quat.input
  ~/axiom/perl$ ./input2mathaction quat.input quat.math
  ~/axiom/perl$ diff quatsandbox quat.math
  ~/axiom/perl$

As usual, you may have the edit the first line of the scripts to
point to your system's perl binary. Or you can instead invoke with::

  perl mathaction2input quatsandbox quat.input

These are relatively simple and do just what is needed for the translation.
I admit that with another hour or two of "optimization" I could make
them have half as many lines of code and half as readable, in the classic
perl style, but I don't see the point.

Please feel free to attach to the MathAction site where appropriate
and otherwise distribute.
