Paste equations into Calculator.app

So, no one has mentioned that if you open the paper tape (View -> Show Paper Tape) in Calc.app you can type the numeric expression (but not equations) directly into Calc.app. Or you can paste the expression from another app and then use the paper tape to play with the expression. This makes Calc.app similar to but not as robust as Long Hand.

One point to add, Calc.app is pretty picky about where you put the equals sign. You either need to leave it off or put it on a separate line. Calc.app isn't smart enough to handle the equal sign on the same line as the rest of the expression.
