If you've ever used a calculator, PCalc should be pretty straightforward. It works very much along the lines of its physical counterparts, with an LCD display and a number of buttons representing the various digits and functions available.

You can either click on the buttons to enter data, or use your Mac's keyboard. You'll probably find that the numeric keypad is the easiest way if you have one on your keyboard. There are a number of keyboard shortcuts to enable to you perform the majority of tasks without touching the mouse.

You can also copy and paste from the calculator display to and from other applications, and other PCalc windows.

Speaking of which, you can create multiple calculators using the New command in the File menu. Remove a calculator by using the Close command, or clicking the close box on the window. The number and positions of the calculators will be remembered when you startup. If you want the calculators to remember their exact state, uncheck the option "Clear calculators at startup" in the Preferences window.

If you click the zoom box on the window (or the Mini button on the PCalc classic look calculator) the calculator will shrink down to just displaying the LCD. The keyboard shortcuts will still work however, so it is still usable. 2 22styl
