 1. Start Calculate.
  2. Enter "8**2".  You will be told that the result of 8^2^ is 64.
  3. Enter "8**-1".  You will be told the result of the calculation "8-1"
 is 0.125.

 The exponent needs to be raised in the history view in the second case,
 just like the first.

 Seen in OLPC 12.1.0 os11/Calculate-40, 11.3.1 os885/Calculate-37.
