 The @kbd{u c} (@code{calc-convert-units}) command converts a units
 expression to new, compatible units.  For example, given the units
 expression @samp{55 mph}, typing @kbd{u c m/s @key{RET}} produces

 One special exception is that if you specify a single unit name, and
 a compatible unit appears somewhere in the units expression, then
