How about using `C-p' for > entering `+/-' in algebraic mode, then? I don't think that's a good idea -- the standard binding for C-p is useful even in minibuffers. I often enter multi-line expressions by hitting ', pasting a big string from some other location and editing it (e.g., I can enter vectors from my C app by pasting from gdb and replacing the gdb goop with calc goop) before hitting RET. -miles -- "Though they may have different meanings, the cries of 'Yeeeee-haw!' and 'Allahu akbar!' are, in spirit, not actually all that different."
