	I'm looking for something to replace my HP28C. It's logical, I
guess, to go to a 48SX.  One problem, tho.  One of my main beefs with
the 28 is that I can't have variables in a vector or matrix.  It's
never made sense to me, and I assumed that it was an oversight.
	So I went to the HP dealer here, and played with a 48SX.
'twas impressed, with what had been done with matrix entry (a truely
painful process, on the 28), and tried to multiply a matrix by a
variable.  Didn't work.
	So...is there any plans in the work to put this into the
matrix operations?  It really doesn't make much sense, at least to me.
I'd really like to stick with HPs for my handheld, because of all the
other neat stuff that it does.
	NOt to mention tetris...
