I love the new Probability Wizard and was pleased to see that now there is a new proot wizard, but I think I'm missing something. A Wizard usually does something in a more interactive manner which is great for students, but this one seems to be even more cumbersome than the command line process.

Here are some suggestions that would make it much more usable.

• Remove the requirement to surround the coefficients in curly brackets. The program should add the curly brackets internally if necessary.
• Display the roots in a scrollable field so that the user can see them without having to exit the wizard to paste them somewhere else.
• Allow the user to enter roots in a list and solve for the coefficients (pcoef). You could have a coefficients field and a roots field and a Solve option that could solve for either one, similar to how the Prob Wizard and Triangle Solver work.
• It would be a big help if the values were persistent so that the next time you launched the Wizard, it would pick up where you left off. Shift-Esc could reset like with other programs. (This would also be a useful feature for the Probability Wizard as well.)
