Editing with Subexpressions

The Selection environment is a special part of the EquationWriter
application used to specify a subexpression in the equation,

A subexpression consists of a function and its arguments. The function
that defines a subexpression is called the top-level function for that
subexpression. The top-level function is essentially the last function to

be evaluated following the usual rules of algebraic precedence.

For example, in the expression '

H+B*C.-"D

', the top level function for

the subexpression ' B*C ' is *, the top-level function for '

' is

and the top level function for ' HTB*C.--D ‘ is +. You can specify an

individual object (a name, for example) as the subexpression.

You can also use the Selection environment to specify a subexpression

to rearrange using the Rules transformations—see “Manipulating
Subexpressions” on page 20-19.

To edit a subexpression of an equation:

1. If the equation ends in an incomplete subexpression, complete it.

2. Press a to activate the Selection environment.
3. Press ® ( S ® ® to move the selection cursor to the top-level

function for the subexpression you want to edit.
