Use the ideas presented in the first three parts of lesson 1 to
construct an original and useful data base. (Not a phone list)

For example:

: C  ." 2.997930E8 m/s  The speed of light." ;

: N  ." 6.02486E26 /(kg mole) Avogadro's number." ;

: E  ." 1.60206E-19 C The electronic charge." ;

: h  ." 6.62517E-34 J s Planck's constant." ;

There will be a reward for the most useful data base!
Upload yours here please.  We're collecting them!

             Instructions on printing out the manual.  
          

During the F-PC installation process the F-PC instruction manual was
unpacked into the sub directory C:\FPC\HLP .  If you haven't already
done so print out the instruction manual as soon as possible.  It
contains much valuable information about F-PC.  You will also find some
useful *.TXT files in the C:\FPC directory that are used by the HELP
system. It might be a good idea to print these out for reference too.
