Not sure if these are known bugs or not, but eq (the inset fordrawing
equations) has a few problems:

1. It doesn't ever set its "modified" flag, so the text object you
embedded itin has no clue that it's been changed.

2. It doesn't chop up its outputted lines (per datastream standard),so
some network mailers might not appreciate them.

3. Pressing Enter will start a new "formula", but there's no way to get
rid ofit.  (A bit of investigating shows thateq_DeleteCarefully does
remove the zilch when you Cutor ^D or ^H it, but then the same routine
adds a zilch back IN because itthinks a formula isn't deletable. 
Ideally, it should NOT add it,and, in addition, should remove the empty
begin andend tokens that still remain.)
