Re: text equation

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ack!  I added the line
Return i
after the line Say i, and it actually gave the result to me
on the message line.  So, I can take out the Say and it
will do exactly what I want it to do, and I think it will
do exactly what you want it to do.

there does seem to be a problem though.

It won't return a decimal number, only integers!!

Jim Langston
