It's nearly my bed time. But one potential problem is using the word var. This is a low level word used by dim statements to create variables. The compiler should be smart enough not to be confused when var is redefined by the user but I cannot guarantee it.

I get the correct answers but with very small rounding errors. This is a bonus feature of floating point :) and it is not always clear why it happens. Floating point numbers usually have to be cleaned up and trimmed before displaying. Was this the problem you encountered Peter?
