Simon,
"Is there any quick and easy way to turn a string (eg/ 'sin(x)') into an
expression, for which you can substitue a value of x?"
If you're willing to use AppleEvents, and pass the string to either Userland
Frontier or HyperCard, either will return a result that you can stuff into a
function call.
It's not exactly what you have in mind, I don't think, but it's a way of
dealing with string expressions that might work for you. Also, it just occurs
to me that Microsoft Excel also supports Apple Events and could handle that
chore.
