# 
# Now I know this won't work as written but I'd like to do something like:
# 
# quad("sin(a*sin(x))*sin(x)",0,pi/2)
# 
# and loop over various values of "a".  How can I do this?
# 
# If I could "define" a function from the command line I could keep
# changing the definition in a loop.  Is this possiable?
# 
# Perhaps a could do some fancy "printf" to a file that defines the function,
# but this seems way convoluted.
# 

why don't you use a global variable to keep the value of "a" and use that
in your "defined" function?
