You are correct, my error.

I have a 64-bit linux machine so I downloaded the 64-bit version of 4.01.
However, I write my PV files are 32-bits (or at least the files say 
32-bit), could that be a source of confusion for the 64-bit PV?
Maybe this was done when we had bot 32-bit and 64-bit machines. I will 
write 64-bit hereafter to avoid any problem.

_*2nd-Point*_: when using the calculator with 4.01
If I want to calculate
0.09*Density*K^2/Epsilon
I enter
0.09 and select *
I get
*0.09 and not 0.09*
then I select the scalar Density
I get
Density0.09* and NOT
0.09*Density (or Density*0.09)
older version use left-to-right entries but 4.01 uses right-to-left entries
Hope this makes some sense.
Thanks,
Stephen
