There's a nifty shortcut. Just type this and press Enter:

In Home view: 20.5_km►_mile
In CAS view: 20.5_km►_mi

where ► is the "Sto" character (either Shift EEX or the [Sto►] menu button). Prime will add parentheses around the units automatically.

The fact that miles are called "mile" in Home and "mi" in CAS is a symptom of Prime's unfortunate dissociative identity disorder.

EDIT: Just noticed that CAS also allows "mile", but Home doesn't allow "mi". Humph.

I can't make it work in RPN mode. I tried
20.5_km then pressing STO. I get bad argument count
I tried 20.5_km Enter
then type _mile and STO I get "Do you want to create a variable called ►_mile"
