OK! :-)

First of all, there's a syntax error in that line... it should be

1234 A=160200/(1.5233*EXP(C*3.2))

unfortunately, this isn't wat you want, as this would be (in model 1 style)

1234 A=160200/(1.5233*2.7818281828[(C*3.2))

I think the character you want to use instead of the [ is ^.
  ^---^ <-- notice the *think*

Also, have you *tried* it with the [?
Either [ or ^ should work.
