Question

Any way to line break or shorten a FIND function? (Prime)

Well, I'd eagerly been awaiting Prime 4.0 so I could like break my find functions that run off the page.  Alas, that new capability only works if you have a +,-,* or /.  So, I'm wondering if there are any tricks that might work.  I haven't been able to find any. 

Thanks,

You have a constraint that is wider than a page without an arithmetic operator?  Please post a picture.

Fred, I mean the actual find command itself - which would never (?) have an arithmetic operator.

It actually goes much further but this gives you the idea.  If I could somehow break the variables into arrays, or concatenated strings or something. 

I suppose one solution is replace everything with one letter variables (A,B,C) and make those equivalent to my properly named variables.  But that's messier than I'd like.

You could build an array, set the solve block in terms of the array, then equate your variables to the solved array.

A stupid, trivial example:
