 and puts the values in variable "cel". The CDEF used is evaluated
 as follows:
 
-   CDEF:far=cel,32,-,0.5555,*
-   1. push variable "cel"
-   2. push 32
-   3. push function "minus" and process it
-      The stack now contains values that are 32 less than "cel"
-   4. push 0.5555
-   5. push function "multiply" and process it
-   6. the resulting value is now "(cel-32)*0.55555"

-Note that if you take the Celsius to Fahrenheit function you should
-be doing "5/9*(cel-32)" so 0.55555 is not exactly correct. It is close
-enough for this purpose and it saves a calculation.
