I've been playing around with 'poly' and I devised a macro that lets you 
use an equation string. So you can use something like "X^2+3Y^2-45"
then the macro makes the 'poly'(fill the 'order' and 'elements')

I put it in povary.binaries.scene-files as POLY Fun.

Have Fun!!

A new toy for mathematicians!
Interesting!

  Now you'll have to enhance it so that it will convert any equation
to polynomial form (if it's conversible)... ;)

  Yea! I know. I've already play with that to a lesser degree in Qbasic.
