The @kbd{u c} (@code{calc-convert-units}) command converts a units
expression to new, compatible units. For example, given the units
expression @samp{55 mph}, typing @kbd{u c m/s @key{RET}} produces
address@hidden m/s}. If the units you request are inconsistent with
-the original units, the number will be converted into your units
-times whatever ``remainder'' units are left over. For example,
-converting @samp{55 mph} into acres produces @samp{6.08e-3 acre / m s}.
-(Recall that multiplication binds more strongly than division in Calc
-formulas, so the units here are acres per meter-second.) Remainder
-units are expressed in terms of ``fundamental'' units like @samp{m} and
address@hidden, regardless of the input units.

+with the same type of units (in this case, distance over time), you will
+be offered the previous choice of new units as a default. Continuing
+the above example, entering the units expression @samp{100 km/hr} and

One special exception is that if you specify a single unit name, and
a compatible unit appears somewhere in the units expression, then
