first: please don’t double post.

as for your question: write some functions that cover the particular calculations

function doPlus (num1, num2)  
 local theResult = num1 + num2  
 return theResult  
end  
  
function doMinus (num1, num2)  
 local theResult = num1 - num2  
 return theResult  
end

…and so on.

then create a numpad by using the widget api.
when a number is pressed, store the input.
when + - * or / is pressed, store the calculation method as well
when = is pressed, call one of the calc-functions …

hope that helps, at least to get started.
