Description Rich Burridge 2003-10-29 15:07:37 UTC 
If the user enters a left parentheses "(", without
there being an outstanding operator, the display
shows:

0(

which is confusing because it could be taken that
the result of the bracketed calculation will be multiplied 
bu zero).
Comment 1 Rich Burridge 2003-10-29 15:08:47 UTC 
Note that if the user has an outstanding operator
then the display is correct. For example, if the
user has typed:

2*3<Return>+(

Then the display will show:

6+(
