You can get to the commands that do that by pressing, in order, PRG -> NXT -> MODES -> ANGLE
Then, with the coordinate on the stack, press RECT or CYLIN will make switch accordingly. This will convert ALL coodinates on the stack no matter what level they're on. You don't have to do anything special other than navigate to the commands.
You can also assign those commands to almost any key on the keyboard as outlined in message #487. Then they'll be directly accessible without any such navigation.
Does that clear it up? If not, please post a question more spacific as to where you're having a problem.
