I will have to agree, as I often begin calculating in the middle of a
lengthy expression. Problem is, you have to record the interim results and
some care is required to maintain those results. I can do it, but it is so
much easier to begin at the beginning and enter things sequentially in AE.
Thanks Gary, I didn't realize RPN was a product of the 20s. It would seem
that for really lengthy calculations, RPN would be a labor saver.

Bob, I'm sure you can see by now that this has all the trappings of a
religious war. Sort of like arguing about word processing programs used
to be before MS completely took over.

Of course, you AE folks are just plain wrong headed!
