Ahh,
thanks for the explanation, Hermann; now I understand Gerard's Problem.

Gerard, and if your calculator does not have the "exp" key (mine for
instance doesn't), then it might have an "ln" and "inv" key (if you are
using an M$ operating system, the "scientific calculator" does), the
combination of which also does the job.

Gru�,
