Jim: Is it possible to shell the Calculator (under Programs
Accessories...) and get it to do the math? Calculator can handle more than
15 digits.

If you're just entering credit card numbers, or suchlike, you generally
don't need to do math, so this should suffice.

XL's limited to 15 decimal digits of precision, so to work with numbers
with more digits than that will require you to use string functions to
manipulate parts of the numbers.
