Hi Robert,
Thanks for the response. I think your point is very much a valid one. The
only case I can report is my own. Normally I use * but for some reason I
tried 'x', brain freeze it would seem. With your explanation in mind and in
noting the behaviour of other calculators like Windows Calculator at this
point I am happy to havethe bug closed.

Thanks.
