	Almost, but not quite.

	A little more yes ... see below.

It works fine. 

In my query, I actually meant something else. In your example modify 
'A' to be 'SIN(COS(X))'. Then 'A' must be integrated (which in this example,
it couldn't be, except numerically). By fiddling around I finally figured
out that the 'SHOW' command is what I want. In the above case one would
put the integral on level 2 and the algebraic 'X' in level 1 then execute
'SHOW'. 'A' will then expand into its constituent equation.

Fine. I am a little confused, however, as to why one cannot recall the
stored value of 'A' into the integral. When I type the integral as far as
'INT(0,Y,)' and then try to recall 'A', I get an invalide syntax error.

Oh well; at least it can be done w/o too much pain.
