When did I say anything about it being obvious? I don't recall doing so.
If I did, then tell me.
Chris.

Chris,
Very helpful. But please remember, not everything is so readily obvious.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Two ways. First, you don't need the calculator for simple things:
open Spotlight with cmd-space, and type a calculation. 2-4 will
yield -2, and 4^4 (4 to the fourth power) will yield 256. You can
use parentheses, plus/minus/multiply/divide, powers, and negative
numbers all from Spotlight. The asterisk is multiply, the slash is
divide, dash is minus/negative, and plus is plus. You just type the
calculation--no need to hit enter--and after a second, VO will say
the answer.
If you still need to use the calculator, open it and you'll be on
the "0", which is the display. Type your calculation and press enter
to hear the result. You can then do more calculations, and if you
don't type another number before the symbol (plus, minus, etc), the
value displayed is used. You can use the number pad with no problem,
but VO won't announce the symbol you enter for some reason. It will
announce the numbers, though.

Hello.
Last night I ventured to use Calculator on my I Mac as I had
always used the Calculator on my I phone. What ever I did, I
could not find the subtract, multiply but could find the Plus. I
even put the Keyboard help on with VO K as I thought I’d get to
know where the multiply was. So if anyone has used the calculator
on the Mac, please could you give me some instructions as how I
should use it please? I also have a Mac mini and use the Apple
USB keyboard and so I hope I can use it in the same way when I use
the calculator on my Mac Mini as well. Logically I would have
thought that Apple would have designed the calculator on the Mac
in the same way as the calculator on the I phone.
Thanks.
Kawal.
