| | The code you supplied and put into EXAMPLE 2 below works OK. EXAMPLE 1
| | below shows a similar rounding problem that can occur with the MC format
| | function. The format function with a format of %6.2f rounds 1.3350 to 1.33,
| | whereas round(1.3350, 2) returns 1.34. My summer students discovered this
| | last week in homework 1 with similar behavior of MC format function and True
| | Basic's PRINT USING instruction. None of this may have solved your problem,
| | so good luck!

Oh dear, I am still having grief with the rounding function, and it seems like
a bug to me.
I put this into the message box
put round(1 * 0.50 * 76.35, 2)
Now, this should resolve to round(38.175, 2) = 38.18. But try it, it
returns 38.17.
EEK, a BUG!
If someone can suggest a work around, I'd be very grateful.
