Sv: Square Root Number Function.

[Ole Hansen, ScanConsult]

Hi Earl,

Use the 'exponentiation' operator (^) in PowerHouse. Square root is - as we all tend to forget - equivalent to raising to the 0.5th power, i.e.

DEFINE SQRT NUM*4 = POSITIVE-NUMBER ^ 0.5

will give the square root of POSITIVE-NUMBER in the variable SQRT.
