No impressive here and no stinkin' page layouts either. However one thing
I do use is: let "a=4+3+5+2017" let "b=a%156" let c=a%44" There's an
addition example for variable a, a modulus and use of already defined
variable for b variable and c variable. Hope this helps. On Sun, 5 Mar

I'm interested in "expr" and "bc".
The man pages lack reasonable examples.
The tutorial/HOWTO pages confuse the issue with fancy page layouts and/or
code samples showing how impressive the author can make the script's output.
Suggestions please.
TIA
