Not really.

In the GUI (MacOS X-only) there's a "simple calculator" mode that
provides something like that. (I don't get the attraction, myself, but I
don't do a lot of number crunching.) Wcalc is primarily a line-oriented
calculator with *some* persistent state---in other words, each line is
treated as a complete mathematical statement. Part of the problem of
doing a 10-key calculator emulation is input files---how do they get
formatted? How does one know that a new line is part of a new
calculationor part of the previous? Not insurmountable, obviously, but
not trivial either---especially when one thinks about detecting which is
which (some sort of a declarative flag at the beginning maybe?). That,
and there doesn't seem to be much demand for that.
