 1. Set Calculate to only show 6 digits in the result.
  2. Calculate the result of "1/3", which should be "0.333333" {6
 significant digits}.
  3. Calculate the result of "1e4", which should appear as "10000" {5
 significant digits, so to speak}
  4. "1000.119" results in "1000.11" {6 digits shown, although an
 interesting truncation.}
  5. Calculate the result of "1e5".  This appears as "1x10^5^", not
 "100000", which has 6 digits in it.  Is this correct, or are we refusing
 to show an extra digit for integer numbers where we would do so for
 decimal numbers?

 Again seen in Calculate 36.
