Resently I've seen a new (beta) version of MacEqn. It's editing facilities
are quite good now. An extra possibillity provided with the new version,
is that you can copy a MacEqn PICT from your wordprocessor back into MacEqn
and than edit it again! 

The new version is due within about two months i beleive.
