Well, it is my mistake. When I see a question on RootTalk first of
all I think the user knows our system and has not found what he
needs. My be am wrong here. My "user communication" experience is not
as large as Rene's one.
So found your question I thought you know about the solution Rene
just told us and you was not satisfied with it.

For PAW one can see those on the screen too.

I doubt your right that only few people use Word/Corel
Draw/PaintBrush ...
I think for the on-line interactive data manipulation only few
people do need the nice fomulas representation but for the
publications. The last takes (I think) huge amount of time to make
up. In spite of there are plenty of tools they are no use. Why ? I
think it is because one needs to figure out a way to convert/move
his data from his application to those packages. And it is not easy
sometimes.
But things may be changed just some software, let's say ROOT, can
do this job for you, may not it?
