Thanks, I suspected it would be ab.

I should have explained what I was testing on the last one: 1/2pi. On Casio's, older TIs, and some software, implied multiplication is given a higher priority than explicit multiplication and division. They treat 1/2pi as 1/(2*pi) but 1/2*pi as (1/2)*pi. I put dashes for things that don't support implied multiplication.

Am I correct that 123 requires explicit multiplication like other spreadsheets?

Yes, actual entry was 1/2*@PI as 1/2@PI produces an error.
