No, no no... Under 10.4, in the Convert menu was a menu item which  
forced Calculator to connect somewhere and update it's currency  
exchange rate tables. Under 10.5, that menu item is gone. Converting  
specific currencies is certainly still there, but I don't see a way to  
force an update of the exchange rates within Calculator.

Another responder has suggested that Calculator under 10.5 updates  
itself automatically and one doesnt' have to manually update the rates  
any longer...that seems reasonable, but I'd like to have confirmation  
of that since I have to convert currencies on a fairly regular basis.
