No no no, you're doing this all wrong!  The correct way to write an 
expression evaluator is with QBASIC.  Observe:

    PRINT "Enter an expression:"
    INPUT E$
    OPEN "TEMP.BAS" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
    PRINT #1, "PRINT " + E$
    PRINT #1, "RUN "+CHR$(34)+"THISPROG.BAS"+CHR$(34)
    CLOSE #1
    RUN "TEMP.BAS"

Jeez guys, I don't know why your complicating the issue with things like 
parsing and recursion.  Go figure.
