> Is there any way in SC 6.8 to customize the format for displaying values ?

I hacked some code into SC that formats numbers in three different ways:
fixed point, floating point, and engineering notation.  I mostly use
engineering notation, which shows the number 1e3 as 1.00k and the
number 1e-11 as 10p.

If there is enough interest (please, mail only) I will attempt to create
a patch and post it.
