To get to the preferences, choose "Preferences..." from the Options menu. SynCalc
preferences allow you to choose the way the answer is displayed, as well as whether or not you
would like the expression field to be cleared each time you launch SynCalc. It is useful to un-
select this preference if you often reference data from other applications for calculations.

Selecting "Normal" mode will always yield the most readable answer. If the answeris
1.000000, it will show 1. If the answer is 1.5e-4, 0.00015 will show. The "Scientific" mode will
always display the answer in scientific notation such as 1.4500000e2 for 145. The "Fixed" mode
will display the answer with the chosen number of decimal places. The "Hex" mode will display
the answer in Hexadecimal format (integer portion only). The "Use Thousands Separator"
checkbox toggles the use of thousands place separators in the number. You can also choose from
three fonts to display the answer.An example of the display is shown as you change display
preferences.

Additional notes about SynCalc's mathematical capabilities:
* This version of SynCalc supports 12 digits of precision IN and 8 OUT. Internally, all numbers
have 12 digits of precision. However, since SynCalc only displays up to 8 digits of precision, the
final answer displayed may be rounded to 8 places.

* All of the operators associate from Left to Right, except for '-' (negative) and '!' (logical not),
which associate Left To Right. This is of particular note for the exponent operator, which
associates left to right:

2^3^4 = (2^3)^4
