What were you trying to do?

  Add two numbers with the R4 xcalc.


What's wrong:

  The answer it gave me.


What should have happened:

  It should know how to add.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:

  XCALC(1), any standard Kindergarten mathematics text.


Reproduce by:

  Call up an R4 xcalc. Type (don't click) the YOU stuff:

YOU> 5 + 5 =
 IT> 10
YOU> 6 + 7 =
 IT> 23
YOU> 6 - 7 =
 IT> 22

To make it totally clear what's going on:

YOU> 5 =
 IT> 27
YOU> 5 =
 IT> 32

  If you click on the = instead of typing it, it gets it right. This is
not broken in the R3 xcalc.
