Although I would like to transfer my programming from TP to FPC, I found that I cannot test some source lines directly without writing a full program. I suggest to implement the evalutation box in TP7 to the IDE, enabling users to input a full expression and evaluate the result, and support more operator/system functions(binary op, sincos, ...). I hope it can replace the calculator now in the IDE completly.
If that is possible, I think the evaluation box should also allow the user to calculate with some user-defined functions in the source code to help them check the correctness of the function without extra coding.

Please upgrade, FPC versions since 2.0.5 have an evaluate box.
