I caught this "just" as it was being sent. The "^", of course, means 
"raise to the power of", not "square". So, "^2" means to square, "^3" 
means to cube, etc. Likewise, "**2" means to square and "**5" means 
raise to the power of 5, etc.

Sorry if I caused any confusion; it was entirely within my own 
head...
