Hello, Mathgroup:

I am new at Mathematica. 

I'm introducing this framework in my scientific group but I'm having
trouble with it.

I have installed 2.1 version of Mathematica under Windows, on an Acer 1100sx 
computer (16 MHz, 4 MBytes Extended Memory, 80387 Numerical Coprocessor), 
MSDOS Operating System.

I am trying to solve a differential equation system (the Hoodgking and Huxley
model for a neuron) but different solutions appear at different times and 
sometimes the computer crashes. Additionally, I can't reproduce the solution 
that I got with the same system programmed in Turbo Pascal.

I enclose a copy of the non autonomous and non linear differential
equation system (four equations) as I am using. I will really appreciate if
someone could help me to find out what is wrong in my system.


Thanks in advance
Jorge Bosch
