Since you enter the entire expression before evaluating anything, you'd see exactly where you left off. Example:

((5+2)*7 /( 4+ ...interrupted

continue (you don't have to complete right parentheses in most cases)
3) =

Right, that's why I suspect the interruption would have less of an impact with that scheme compared to the uninterrupted users, but I can't say how the overall averages would compare to the other input methods.
