<li><p>DeskCalc understands much more than its simple keypad suggests.<br/>
Besides the operators <tt></tt>, <tt>-</tt>, <tt>*</tt>, <tt>/</tt>, <tt>%</tt>, <tt>^</tt> and the constants <tt>pi</tt> and <tt>e</tt> the following math functions are supported:<br/>
<tr><tdcolspan="2"><spanclass="menu">Enable Num Lock on start up</span></td><tdstyle="width:15px;"></td><td>Automatically activates the number block when launching DeskCalc.</td></tr>
<tr><tdcolspan="2"><spanclass="menu">Radiants/Degrees</span></td><td></td><td>Switch between "rad" and "deg" as unit for angular measure.</td></tr>
<tr><td><spanclass="menu">Compact</span></td><td><spanclass="key">ALT</span><spanclass="key">0</span></td><td></td><td>A minimal view mode that hides the keypad.</td></tr>
<tr><td><spanclass="menu">Basic</span></td><td><spanclass="key">ALT</span><spanclass="key">1</span></td><td></td><td>The standard look of DeskCalc.</td></tr>
<tr><td><spanclass="menu">Scientific</span></td><td><spanclass="key">ALT</span><spanclass="key">2</span></td><td></td><td>Show additional buttons for advanced calculations.</td></tr>
</table></li>
<li><p>When it comes to user input, DeskCalc is quite tolerant:<br/>
<tt>/</tt>, <tt>:</tt>, <tt>\</tt> are all interpreted as division operators,<br/>
<tt>*</tt>, <tt>x</tt> are valid symbols for multiplication.<br/>
Also, be aware that <tt>.</tt> and <tt>,</tt> are both considered floating points, which means you mustn't use them as 1000-separators.</p></li>
<li><p>You can resize the calculator until it fits your needs and then put it as <ahref="../gui.html#replicants">Replicant</a> onto the Desktop via drag & drop of the symbol in the bottom right corner. Make sure <spanclass="menu">Show replicants</span> is activated in the Deskbar.</p></li>
<li><p>The keypad can be colored with a drag & drop from any color well, e.g. from <spanclass="app">Icon-O-Matic</span>.</p></li>
<li><p>You can select DeskCalc's contents and drag & drop it into any application. Or you drop it into a Tracker window or onto the Desktop and a text file with that clipping is created there.</p>
