Re read what I wrote Richard.  I wrote RPN, for Reverse Polish Notation.  
First popularly used in HP's calculators in the 60's as it simplified the 
calculators design and reduced its memory usage considerably over that of a 
calculator that has to keep track of stuff by the normal algebraic rules, 
making sure it follows the normal operator precedence.  Simplified to the 
bone, you place the values of two items on the stack, then issue the +=, -
=, /=, or *= command to get the answer.

Cheers, Gene
