try the xy button (2 above the number 7 on the el-w531 calculator) instead of the ^
Thanks but still not working out,
Perhaps it is the 'mode' my calculator is in
Should it be in 'Normal' mode or a different one?
Thanks again

I've just pulled up a picture of your calculator online...
I think you would have to type in
30 x (3 'Yx' -0.201) =
where Yx is the button on the far left under 'hyp'
