Actually, the equation editor is not a bad way to
enter expressions. It's been completely revamped from
that of the hp48 is very useful now. But, of course.
you can enter expressions directly to the stack.
A list has many uses but in your case it can aggregate
several expressions into one object. Lets say you have
expression1, expression2, and expression3 on the stack
at levels 1 thru 3. If you enter 3 then press "prg" on
the keyboard then "type" on the softmenu and then
->list on the softmenu you'll end up with...
{expression1 expression2 expression3} on level 1 of
your stack. You can get back what you had by pressing
obj-> on the softmenu, and then do a "drop". For more
info check your manual.
Now, if you don't want to save this list in a
variable, you can leave it on the stack. But it's not
a good idea to leave objects on the stack and expect
them to stay there for long. For instance, an errant
program can cause a reset and you can lose the entire
stack.
