 Results of an addition or subtraction between consistent units will produce a result with the units of the first argument (argument in level 2 of the stack at the time of the operation, or the left argument in an algebraic expression). Results of an addition or subtraction between consistent units will produce a result with the units of the first argument (argument in level 2 of the stack at the time of the operation, or the left argument in an algebraic expression).
  
 +Unit conversions can be performed directly using the ''CONVERT'' command, which is accessible directly from the keyboard (**LS-6**). For example to convert 100 ml into m^3 simply place the original unit and the new unit on the stack: ''100_ml'' ''1_m^3'' ''CONVERT''.
 +
 +To reduce a unit to its base components, use the command ''UBASE''. For example ''1_N'' ''UBASE'' will return ''1_kg*m/s^2''.

 +To extract the value part of a unit object, use the ''UVAL'' command, which will return the object without its unit.
