This is a simple program to convert weights measured in pounds/ounces to kilograms.

Sample run:
FEET
?7                 // user input: 7 pounds
INCHES
?4                 // user input: 4 ounces
           3.289   // so 7 lb 4 oz is 3.289 kg
       KILOGRAMS
            Done

The code:
(Note: -> represents the STO key.  Do not type in the lines preceded by //: they're just comments.

:Disp "POUNDS"
:Input L
:Disp "OUNCES"
:Input Z
:.45359237(L+Z/16 -> K     // 1 lb=16 oz=453.59237 g
:Disp K
:Fix 3                     // limit output to 3 decimal places
:Disp "       KILOGRAMS"   // 7 spaces: not essential but makes output nicer
:Float                     // change back to floating-point mode
