I would like to create equations with varibles of more than one
letter, such as "cell".  Eq seems to only allow single letter variables,
resulting in C output with "cell" rendered as "c*e*l*l", or the number "10"
as "1*0" (very annoying).  Is there a way to define variables as special 
symbols while eq is running?
