Keith, 
I don't know why UBASE gives the results that you state in response #1,
but your original problem is not a problem.
  1_C^.5/F^.5 is indeed 1_V^.5

A dimensional analysis of Q=CV (Q = charge in coulombs, C = capacitance
in Farads, V = voltage in volts) bears this out.

     [C] = [F][V]
or [C]/[F] = [V]
     [C^.5]/[F^.5] = [V^.5]

(I guess that you must be off your rocker :-))
Hope this helps, 
Dan
