The problem is this: I have a numerical expression I wish mathematica to evaluate, the expression happens to be complex. So, I have it do the evaluation and for output it gives me, for example, Out[122]= ((1+ 2 I) - (43 - 4 I)) when the ouput ought to read: Out[123]= -42 - 2 I it leaves the output with these damned parenthesis in there and I do not know, for the life of me, how get take this output and remove these strange and pesky parens. ----------------------- What is the FullForm of the expression giving you trouble. Perhaps you previously made rules for MakeBoxes[expr_,form_], or made some definitions with the (Notation.m) package. It's possible to make things work the way you describe if you did.
