Pat,
Yeah, seems like one of those questions that as soon as you call tech support,
suddenly it works. :) THTV itself works fine now (though I’m certain it didn’t
when I tried it yesterday), but subtracting 273.15 does not ("Parameter SUB( is
not calculable.”) Nonetheless, having it in Kelvin works just fine for what I
want, so I can roll with that. Thanks for the help!
