I like the above - now, does someone have a program that will convert something like sum(i=5,n,a*e^(1/n)+6) into the above ?? Doesn't mathematica use something like the first equation when it prints out something the user typed in like the second equation ? Perhaps someone could write a quick program ;-) to translate so that we can type it one way and include it into mail in the "easy to read" form. - P.
