But of course it will be negative if you multiply the entire expression by ?1, which is what the negative sign does. I tried ?1 (superscript) (3/4) and got an invalid tone and a 0.

Have a great day,

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.

No, NEGATIVE 1 to the 3/4 (3/4 entered as a fraction).  As in (in
Nemeth):
space-3-6 2 4-5 1-4-5 backspace-3-ard 1-4 enter You should see 0.
If
not, which ks version do you have? I should mention that this
happens
to me on an mpower bt with ks7.5.27.

Have a great day,
Alex

Alex I just tried your example on my qt and I got the answer of
1.
You said it was 1 to the power of 4/3? When I did that the
answer
came up as 1.

When I raise ?1 to the power of 4/3, I get 0; I should get 1.
This is not good; it gave me wrong anwsers for a lot of my
calculus
homework. Just glad it is not graded on the answers, just on
effort.

Have a great day,
Alex
