This is mostly an aside to your question, but depending on what you aredoing, Speq Mathematics may be an improvement over TextCalc. The homepage is at http://www.speqmath.com/index.php?id=1. The big differences are that it adds a good deal of functionality (variables, a larger variety of functions, plotting, etc.) and that it treats plain text as an error (unless the text is marked as a comment). max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
