Description:   This program gets 2 inputs from the user.

                      It multiplies them by using the MULTIPLY verb. 

                      a*b is found and stored in c.

                      The unedited result is accessible in c.

                      We move c to e-c, where the edit characters are accessible.

                      Keep in mind that the variable e-c makes use of the - edit character.

                       The e-c will always be exhibited with result.
