The above pages describe how units are used in CAPA (and LON-CAPA).
If you enter two units with a space, multiplication assumed.  For example, if you 
enter "N m", that is that equivalent to a J.

Spaces are not allowed for the multiplier prefixes?  In other words, you can't 
enter "k m" and have that be equivalent to a km.
