Scientific is the one to chose and it is the DMS button sorry, not the Deg button. Was getting mixed up with a real calculator I have. Put in the degrees decimal value e.g.. 40.9576 then click on the DMS button and you get 40.572736 which translates as 40º 57" 27.36' . You should see a check box above the function buttons with Inv next to it, check this box then click on the DMS button again and it converts Deg Min Sec to decimal. Inv means Inverse. Get to know the scientific calculator as you'll find it quite handy, there is reasonable help files with it and the keyboard short cuts speed up calculations greatly. I haven't seen the XP one, but, virtually all scientific calculators both virtual and real follow similar formats long established.
