   99:            statement (need <br> in between)

  103:          + Exit button should remove data in input fields (can submit button
  104:            do this too?  would solve the refresh problem)

  148:          * Default values for tries=unlimited, wgt=1 even when they are not
  149:            specified in /ANS()     
  150:          + newfunction needed is atan2         
  151:          + Units are not case sensitive.  Variables are not case sensitive. Can
  152:            we change this? (Do we want to change this?)  
  153:          + can we make the tolerance independent of format - use all the
  154:            precision of the variable in /ANS() to calculate the tolerance.  
  155:          * ? Difference in asin() usage in chemsitry - see testing7
  156:            chem_prob06.txt vs usage in set1.qz for testing7.  Why
  157:            doesn't the chem problem give error message? jsut core dumps
