To answer your question literally: ( - 6 ) square equal
That gives 36

I looked at windows calc, and it suffers from the same problem, just in
different ways.  If I hit: 6 + 5 square equal and that gives 31.  What
if I wanted (6+5)^2 and not 6+5^2?  I checked my own, 10 year old hand
held calculator, and it operates in yet another slightly different way,
but I won't go into it.

I still think you should explain, with as much precision as you can,
what you think is the best way things should happen, before this bug is
filed upstream.
