Suggestion for EXECON.

so, as Marcus pointed out, there are two worlds on the Prime: CAS and the rest.
EXECON is a command from the HOME-world and so get's executed in a non-CAS-environment even if called from the CAS (similiar to other PPL programs).

BTW: in CAS you normally wouldn't grub yourself with strings which contain expressions to be evaluated (like EXPR(), EXECON() etc., which is IMO a very BASIC approach -- simple, powerful, but a bit unaesthetic) since you've the full power of a functional system with "apply", "map", "seq", "zip" and all the implicit composite-type-handling of the other operators.

Hello,

I have no problems what you and others say and I do not want be to picky at all ,but if EXECON works like it does, at least for me, it is a crippled funktion and if it could be fixed, why not.
