True that the matrix is sitting right there in front of them, but it no longer "looks" like a matrix, rather a list of lists. The ability to input matrices using a table is one huge bonus. The ability to read a table from the command line (and have the parser know what to do with the table) is another story. It seems that the first item will be easy to implement, and the jsMath tool will hopefully do this (thanks Davide for jsMath) . How hard would the second item be?
