no. it's not there...

yes and if you need to do those things in a sequence block you have to
use a calc block for assistance, very kludgy but it will work.

I have and it is demoralizing :( I have brought this up repeatedly at
the User's Group, but I have been told that it cannot and will not
ever be fixed. HLBL is all it is.... Now you could use the
Newton-Raphson method to iteratively calculate a cube root, but it
would be better to just us a calc block and tie that into the seq
block.
