RE: Why does -2^2 compute to -4 on my HP Prime?
The HP71 has pretty much the same precedence (including the unary minus! I have no idea how to enter that from the keyboard.)

When I do the A = -2: A^2 in calc mode, when I enter A it immediately puts parens around it. It does *not* put parens if I put A = 2!
