What were you trying to do?
zoom in and out again!
I guess the first time I was right. It DOES give an error after zooming
weirdness, intermittently. I can account for every time I said x^y,
and the appropriate error message came up. This time I tried to zoom out
again. And it gave:
fmax: Runtime error: Type Mismatch: real ^ integer; Expecting integers
longjmp botch
Something I noticed then and not before: usually, this type mismatch
lets you go on typing and doing things without halting the program. This
HALTS THE PROGRAM!
