I meant an application, written as Rev app, that handles some 
scientific data and allows users to enter functions which my program 
uses to process data. Those functions (functions in mathematical not 
Transcript sense) could be a few lines of code or a few hundred, 
including subroutines. When programming such an app in traditional 
language, I'd include own parser, but doing so in Transcript would 
have been counterproductive. Anyway, this is a history for me. The 
specific app I had opportunity to market would have dealt with 
biochemical data (from experiments).
