I don't think it was quite all that encompassing before, Andy, and you are 
by pure common sense correct.  So if I run in metric mode, I'll have to 
recall that F is in mm per min.  That means a bunch of them.  As in 15 
ipm=384mm-min.

I am trying to teach this 1934 model farm boy some metric.  Not that I 
haven't used it all my life in electronics. ;-)
