I ran across a little Mac trick and am sharing it with the net.

I was performing a series of long calculations, the kind where a
programmable calculator is nice. The Mac works great as follows.

Open the note pad to a clean page on one half of the screen, 
and open the calculator on the other half. Type in the normal
keystrokes you would enter on the calculator into the note pad.
Don't enter a RETURN unless you want the calculator to beep at you.
When finished entering your equation into the note pad, highlite
it with the mouse and copy it into the clipboard (COMMAND-c).  Move
over to the calculator and paste the clipboard into the calculator
(COMMAND-v).  Watch the keys go, and walla the answer.

Ahh, now you want to change your equation a little, simply edit
the note pad, copy it into the clipboard, then paste it into
the calculator. Thats it!!
