As I mentioned, I googled for what "ln()" could mean.  I got information 
back that different professions use "log()" to mean whatever they want it to 
mean.   :-(

I did however find how to use "log()" to emulate "ln()" (as I showed in my 
first message).  Alas, the result was still not near the expected one.

If you can point out what mistake(s) I made with that (first) fomule or my 
conversion of it I would be much obliged.
