Hm but in calc there doesn't seem to be any differentiation between "implicit" and "explicit" multiplication... You can enter "a b / c d" and it is displayed the same (without the *, by default) as if you enter "a*b / c*d". I guess it just treats them as different names for the same thing... -Miles -- Twice, adv. Once too often.
