Futher to what Richard said, if you want to convert a number from hex to
decimal and then do some other operations in decimal then you have to do
this:

1. Open calculator
2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu
3. Switch to Hexadecimal input
4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold)
5. Enter " in decimal" (without the quotes) after the number and press enter
6. The display should show 128₁₀
7. Select the number and Ctrl-C to copy it.
8 Switch the Decimal input (this will clear the number which is why we just 
copied it)
9 Ctrl-V to paste the number in
10 Do your ops in decimal.
