Sorry, I meant the percent key - now corrected.

Not broken, the % key in Tiger apparently just performs differently than
it did in Panther. There is no standard way the % key performs --
TopCalculette Pro 
<http://www.rubensoft.com/Main_US.html> performs like the Panther
version of Calculator. Go to <http://calculator.com/pantaserv/makecalc>
and it performs like the Tiger version. Since calculator makers and
different software developers don't have a standard function for the %
key, many of us don't even bother to use that key.
