OK, as I understand it, you need more parantheses (ha ha, joking people!
Just kidding!)
Seriously though, in the default modes, all answers will be given in
fraction form (I think, that's all I've seen so far)... If you need decimal
you can either do approx(blahblahblah) or do call up the entry you need to
change and press diamond+enter instead of enter.
For example, if you hit 11/9 ENTER you get "11/9". If you hit 11/9
DIAMOND+ENTER you get "1.22222". The number of 2's depends on what you have
float set to.
