B would show a number not an equation.

Unfortunately, most of the TI calcs do not support this. That was one of the most frustrating things about my 86--that I couldn't make an expression turn into a string. On my 89, however, you can easily convert any expression to a string using the "string(" command. On the 86 and below, there are a few ways which I have found to get around this, however. The most important key is to use the output command wisely. You can do wonders with that single command.
