Hi Mathgroup, I was trying to Plot: Plot[ {V[x], Phi[x] /. min}, {x,-5,5} ] where min was a set of rules: min = {a->.5, b->.005} Mathematica was literally trying to plot "Phi /. min", which of course is meaningless. Thumbing through a book I have, I stumbled across the Release command. This did work: Plot[ Release[{V[x], Phi[x] /. min}], {x,-5,5}] I couldn't quite understand the explanation why Release is necessary. Even though my problem is solved, can someone explain precisely why Release is necessary here and what it does? Thanks! Peter -- Never criticize a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes.
