Yes, but I was thinking of exporting the result to something nice, so I wanted to tell org I was in calc mode. In fact, I'm not sure to like how calc deals with delimiters: it's not liking the "#+..." if there is no blank line. I know it's configurable, though. > Using embedded mode is still fairly awkward for me.

The useful shortcuts I picked were: - C-x * u: update the formula (it's almost C-x * e C-x * e, except it will still work if another formula is currently in embedded mode) - C-x * d: duplicate the formula and enter embedded calc mode - s = in calc mode: add the nice => thingy > I'm not clear on how the even/odd example works in calc, could you share > a link to the specific manual page you're referencing?

I don't know how to define mutually recursive functions in calc, and that was basically my question. (But then one may then use a real programming language at that point.) The manual never really defines functions, and it seems that what I want to do is rewrite things, but I cannot find a way to do it correctly. Alan
