Thanks to all the people who have replied to my many questions.  I will
summarize for those who are interested (or for FAQ if it ever gets posted):

1) flickering display  -  Don't use under flourescent light.

2) can't get all memory back  -  PICT uses some, last stack, last arg, etc.
				 ON-C gets it all back (except for variables)

3) stopping TAYLR gone mad  -  many people corrected me that ON-C does halt
				any operation, but doesn't erase variables.

4) To Amiga owners  -  I will be mailing lists out Tue. or Wed.  Thanks for
			all the replies.

5) To Povl Pedersen (or whoever was asking)  -  Integral of exp(-.5*y^2)
			still can't be done symbolically, but does converge.
			It converges to approx. 1.2538.

Some new questions:
1) I am about to get the IBM serial cable, w/o software, for my AMIGA.
	I already have kermit for AMIGA, but the ads for the software in the
	serial kit mention something about being able to send commands to
	the 48 over the serial cable, and getting the results back over the
	cable.  Is this really what the software does, and if so, has anybody
	ported it to the AMIGA?

2) I have read about a program (written by Dr. Wickes, I think) called ASC
	that converts ASCII to HP.ASCII and vice versa.  Does this come with
	the serial cable (if yes, does AMIGA version exist?), or does it exist
	under UNIX (could someone post it?)?

3) How can I get to all these archives if I don't have access to ftp?
	I have a modem at home, so any info is appreciated.


Thanks!!
