When entering degrees, minutes, & seconds into DEEDPLT, use the "/" for a
separator. It is right there on your numeric keypad.
Note that with DEEDPLT, you can switch from minutes to decimal. An input of
12/34.567 is legal, and means 12°34'34" or 12.5761°, not 12 divided by 34.567
Directions may be output as decimals or °'". If your printer does not like
hiASCII, then the ° will look like an italic x.
This table may help you understand the various methods of measuring directions
