Calculator Issues

My wife just got a new Prism, and was using it at work tonight. She called with the following question:"If I divide 10 by 30 by 50 by 60, I get an answer in exponential notation. Is there any setting I can change to make this read in simple decimal notation?" Well, I tried until I became exasperated and was unable to come up with an answer. Has someone out there been through this exercise before and resolved it? My answer to this point is to load a calculator software program into the Prism and use it vice the resident calculator. Please help me out here if possible. Thanks.

In Advanced Mode

You can do it in Advanced Mode (Menu -> Options -> Change Mode). If you want 7 decimal places, enter 7 and then choose the Fixed(x) from the center drop down menu. This choice does NOT carry over to the basic mode.
