Look at the lname function (lists all the variables used in an equation) and of course solve...
'all you need to do' is a for loop on the result of lname with a call to solve for each item in the lname list.


And yes, Prime is no 28, it is an algebraic machine, not a RPN one and as a result, things are different.
You will find that Prime is insanely powerful!

thanks cyrille! i'm only a program dabbler, but that sounds like something i could tackle. at least it's a goal i can set myself to try for.

and i like you putting the 'all you need to do' in quotes. long ago i worked with a small team of computer admins and when i came on for the night shift we'd have a meeting and if they had left me something particularly difficult to sort out, that was the preface to them giving me the bad news: 'now, all you have to do is ....', and when i heard that i knew there would be no napping on the job that night!
