Yes, I found that too, but it requires typing 'Decimal' or 'D' every time you want the shorter output (grimace). What I would like is something which applies globally to the output, but it looks as if there's nothing available. I can do everything I need via the little script -- I can predefine variables there ! -- & I don't mind loading "math" every time, as I have no other present use for interactive Python. I am now a bit ahead of where I was when I first asked (smile). Thanks for this & the other reply. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
