   Definately MacEqn doesn't work this way but I agree that would be
the best way to implement one. TeX is so easy (and FAST) to specify
an equation that using it would far outweigh the lack of interactivity.
I find MacEqn tedious (and not particularly well formatted) for doing
anything complex and minor changes turn into major hassles due to the
lack of editing. If there is something better PLEASE tell us about it!
