There is a program called "fep" (acronym for front end processor ?) which lets you edit a line a la emacs within an application. You can then invoke Mma with the command "fep math" to enable the line editing. If you cannot locate "fep" in your system, I will be glad to send you the file via NeXT mail. ------------------------------------------------- Seiichi Nomura Mechanical Engineering Department nomura at zen.uta.edu University of Texas at Arlington Arlington, Texas 76019-0023 +1-817-273-2012 (auto voice/fax/msg)
