So, I entered, -1^(3/4) into Google and was returned with the following:
-(1^(3 / 4)) = -1
I then entered the above into KeyPlus and got -1 as the answer.
Unless, Google is wrong, mmy studies of Calculus and Beta Testing of Nemeth
Tutorial are all wrong, the answer should be -1 and the parentehssi are
required.

Ok. On the qt things are written differently the x for the power sign is
dots 45 in nemeth code. When I was writing in the emails how I wrote it in
the keyplus I was using the nemeth fraction indicators. I tried it again
using negative 1 to the 3/4 as a fraction and got 0.
I am using an mpower qt with keysoft 7.5 build 28.
