My five / percent key is broken.  Initially I was surprised that

   9 % 6
1.5

   9 *inv 6
0.666667

Then not surprised remembering Dr. Iverson's insistence that division is written unintuitively backward in common algebraic notation.

See dyadic | for a reminder.  (a remainder reminder?)

(my four/dollar key has also failed.  I enter a. then copy-n-paste.  new keyboard available later this month.  Yes, I've also remapped otherwise unused keys.)

Cheers, Dave.
