Assist is usefull if you use it, and don't mind a short delay ....
I most often use it to interpret the "time in" command. Try writing "time in
Moscow" and hit assist.
Another way it can be used is with QuickFigure Pro. I use it to evaluate
numeric expressions like "figure 325 / 14.5" which is pretty handy - much
faster than pulling out a calculator.
