It does indeed.  It all seems to work just fine now.

I don't necessarily know much more emacs calc than you but the little I
know seems to work just fine.  It's such a powerful package sitting
there mostly idle and org babel is probably the best way to release it
for general use!  Especially for inline calculations...  Time to re-read
the calc manual again and play.

Thanks,
eric
