The generated code should work as desired in all 4 level browsers.

How to use:

To generate log(√(x)), enter:
1. click x
2. click sqrt
3. click log
To generate the code to calculate √(x²+(sin(y+3))²),enter:
1. click x
2. click ^2
3. click+
4. shift to work window
5. click y
6. click +
7. click 3
8. click sin
9. click ()
10. click ^2
11. shift to main window*
12. click sqrt

The reason the second window is necessary is when a function is called it is assumed that it is applied to everything in the current window. Thus

click x
click ^2
click +
click y
click +
click 3
click sin
click ()
click ^2
click sqrt

would produce
√(sin((x²+(y+3))²)

By using the auxiliary window repeatedly you can, add, subtract, multiply, or divide any number of functions. For example,using this and the keyboard the following are easily created,
x= (-b±√(b²-4ac))÷2
and
∫₀¹x^p-1dx÷(1-x)^p=p÷sin(pp) or ∫₀¹x^p-1dx/(1-x)^p=p/sin(pp),
and
d²u/dt²+x^-1du/dt+(1-n²/x²)u=0
. Very complex functions can be generated in this manner.

When you finish by clicking 'Done' the results will be highlighted for copy/paste into your document.

*Note: There is a clear key but it does not appear to work with Netscape 4 on MacOS. Actually although the content remains in the window it is actually deleted and can be ignored as if it was not there. When you shift back to the main window, the work window is cleared. Again it will not appear to be so on MacOS with Netscape.
