I have tried to use help in the Windows Vista calculator for "find Square
Root". The answers 60 of them address everything but.

Any clues?

The square root is actually the same as the power of 1/2. So use the "x^y"
on the scientific calculator.

In your case "2" "x^y" "0.5" "="

Help file what do the keys do show sqrt, but I don't see it!!

The sqrt button is only in the standard view. In the scientific view, you
need to use "x^y".

Click the sqrt key....?

Square Root of 2 is 1.14142135623730950488016887242097


I seem what you mean thought; help is not "Help" relevant to Calculator.
