Great work, man!

I enjoyed it very much. A lot of cool features and I still dunno if I tried them
all. I'd like to comment on math expressions stuff.

It seems that you've got math symbols from the book "Concrete Mathematics" by
Graham, Knuth and Patashnik (as I get the quote for my sig :). This book indeed
rocks) so there aren't such symbols like integrals and others. I haven't idea how
the integral could be drawn... Maybe that way:
   b
   _ 
  | `
  |   x dx
._;
 a


composition: x o y  (o is the symbol)

~ symbol (well, also there is "twisted" equal sign and three-dashes equal sign
but they're too hard to implement)
    
plus-minus and minus-plus:

+  -
-  +

(they're ugly)
                        _
and (a^b) or (avb) not ( 'b)

quantors (turned 180 degrees A and E) - any ideas?

aleph , turned 180 degree delta (gradient), Plank's constant (h with dash)

{x} brackets

U and turned 180 degrees U  (conjugation and interface if I translated it right)

Microsoft Equation Editor also supports Evil Elliptical Symbol of Veyerstrass
which I'm unable to explain :).

But anyway, JavE is still the best ascii-art editor in the world!
