OK, so I create
People are talking about manually setting the "scale" variable in bc,
and using small values like 3 for it.
Please note that this the scale variable is NOT just used for rounding of
final results for display. It's used for internal precision of storage
of ALL intermediate results. Using a small

$ cat ~/.bcrc
scale=3

Hi,
if i had no other preferences, i'd use program "bc" in an xterm with
enormous scroll buffer.
Run in some shell window:
xterm -fg black -bg wheat -sl 10 &

written to GTK.
