I have a curious problem: a while ago I entered

outputFixed(2)

so as just to get a brief idea of the size of things, without cluttering up
the screen with digits.  But now I want to get full display back.  However:

outputFixed(20)

or even

outputFixed()

has no effect - no matter what I do, my displayed floating point output is
stuck at 2 decimal places.  I know I could quit and start again, but is
there some way of (a) finding out what setting is causing this behaviour,
and (b) stopping it?

Ever confused,
Alasdair
