Stop Units Reduction in Results

Trying to utilize units in Mathcad is frustrating me.

My equation results are always output with the units reduced to base dimensions. For example, a torque value in in-lbf gets returned as lb-in^2/s^2.

Is there a way to stop this function of unit reduction? I see nothing in the help files and haven't had any luck with web searches, though it seems this must be a common problem.

It annoys the heck out of me too. I just click the little box to the left and put in what I want. It gets old doing it every time, but it is still better that doing the calcs in Excel or on a piece of paper.
