Hello fellow HP-users,   I have what may be a silly question, but I
shall ask anyway.  WhenI add 25_'C ( read degree Celcius)  and 1_'F
on my HP 48SX, I get an answer of 537.67_'F.  What terribly simple thing
am I overlooking?  My wife tells me that the answer looks like Rankins
(sp?).  Why is this happening?  I heard someone say that they asked HP
about it and got a fix.  However, I don't really know if this guy knew
what he was talking about.  I've never seen a reference to this
phenomenom, so I'm inclined to believe that the problem is not really a
problem.
 
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance.
