The USAG command takes a LIST containing a command name (I wasn't sure from
your description if you were doing something else).  I haven't been able to
get it to hang on my machine.

Here's a really convenient way to convert units:

	<gold>  UNITS  SPEED  5  M/S  <gold>  FT/S
	
<unit> multiplies by the unit
<blue> <unit> multiplies by the reciprocal of the unit
<gold> <unit> converts to that unit
