Hi all, 1. Currently, if you have some numeric data and do a math evaluation, for instance
60 + 220 = 280
If you do a new evaluation on that line, the result is 60 + 220 = 280 standard_in) 1: parse error
SUGGESTION to the math maintainer: Might you alter the code to delete the contents of the line or selection subsequent to an "=" character, before evaluating?
2. The currency math commands, would it make sense to use the detected prefix?
i.e., currently "$20 + $40" evaluates to "$20 + $40 = 60"
Perhaps it should evaluate to "$20 + $40 = $60"
Cheers, Tim

It’s a good idea, and was actually suggested once before -- but personally I probably won’t find much time for this in the nearest future, hopefully someone else will jump on the challenge.

Probably a good idea. Not sure how much they are actually used though. Had I not used up my quota of removing the stuff David Powers adds, I would probably have removed them by now ;)
