The 'Graphing' mode (Graphing-2D.calcview), 'Hexadecimal' mode
(Hexadecimal.calcview), and 'Expression Sheet' mode (ExpressionSheet.calcview) all do

also verified by Apple Tech Support uses eMac with 10.3.8. For the 'Graphing' mode,
all that is obtained is Calculator window as a solid field -- it does not have the
graphing window, the equation entry line, nor the X Maximum, X Minimum, X Step entry
boxes.
