Joseph, I played around with ProSolv at one of the AAPT Meetings and kept asking myself, could I not do this faster with pen and paper? This was one time when I felt the computer was a barrier to my learning. Please understand I am no "Power" user of ProSolv. I kept wanting to draw diagrams and sketches of the problem. Give me a simple trig calculator, pen and paper, not a CRT in this case. I will be interested in other ideas as I sure would take another look if positive comments show up.
