I am having a small problem and I am hoping someone can help me see what I must
be doing wrong.  Currently, we are reviewing vectors in Calc and I have been
playing around with all the vector stuff.  I did a bunch of neat stuff with 
3d vectors like DOT CROSS etc.... Then today, I wanted to do a simple dot
product of two 2d vectors. I enter.
2 3 ->V2
4 5 ->V2
and get 
(2,3)
(4,5)
on the stack.  These are NOT vectors.  The only things that I can do with them
is add and subtract ans such.  No DOT....
At this point I had to check 3d so I entered.
2 3 4 ->V3
5 6 7 ->V3
and got
[2 3 4]
[5 6 7]
which is much better... Everything works great with this.  I am now thinking
that there is a flag set wrong or something...
I ahve it set to Decimal, STD, Rectangular.  Polar and spherical change
nothing.  Still () in V2 and [] in V3.    I can't find it in the manual, but 
that doesn't mean that it isn't there.  Can anyone help me?  In case it is
relevant, I have a version C ROM.  Thanks for help.....
