The calculator feature, available through the Other menu, is useful for doing quick
math operations right on your personal computer where the result can be pasted
into the active file.

The calculator works with decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or binary formats. It can
perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It can also perform
logical AND, OR and exclusive OR functions. The calculator has a tape output so
you can review your entries, and a paste option that pastes the calculation result at
the last cursor location in the active window.

Hypertext help is available with more details on this feature.

Windows are labeled alphabetically in their top left corner. The software can open
up to 100 windows simultaneously. Each may contain a separate file, or they can be
linked together and contain different parts of the same large file. You can open and
close these windows independently of one another.
