You need the double parenthesis at the front as there are two opposite ones following. They must all balance. You perform the functions within the inner set first then do what is in the next set, then do what is outside last. I cut and pasted your square root symbols for this. Can someone tell me how to do square root symbols on a regular keyboard? 73 Gary K4FMX ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected]
