view the Tedds calculations. Other options may be available, for instance to see calculations which use a particular set of units, or
calculations which you have downloaded from the Tedds web site these depend entirely on the locale and on your previous Tedds
usage (if your locales calculations use only SI units, then there will not be an option to list calculations which use imperial units, if you
havent downloaded any calculations, then the CSC Downloads option will be blank.)
