Using Notes as a pocket calculator

There is a very easy and convenient way to use Notes as a simple pocket calculator. You can evaluate any kind of expressions also containing formulas in every non-richtext field. Just create a new memo(for example via CTRL-M) and type in some numeric expression like (123+23+234)*5 and press CTRL + SHIFT + F9. Notes will evaluate this expression and write back the result into that field. This does work for every normal field and for all kind of formulas. For example @UserName returns your own user name. This does save a lot of typing and specially typing mistakes for long names.
