Dear Rev Proframmers

I need a simple stack to do this.

I want a text field to enter amount of savings, interest, and it will put out in the label Princ, Interest, & total.

I was told the above formulas is needed but math is not my thing.

I used an existing stack for testing, so I used items of a field for input rather than separate fields. But allowing for that, it should be clear


  put item 1 of tVar into P
  put item 2 of tVar into r
  put item 3 of tVar into m
  put item 4 of tVar into t
  put  P * ( (1+r/m) ^ (m*t)) into field "lockedField"

(Remember that for a 4% interest rate, the value you should use here is "0.04", not "4".
Took me more tries than I'd like to admit to realize that myself :-)
