Alan,
on Mathematica 3.0 for Solaris and Mathematica
4.0 for Windows it works, if the prime is
the character with ASCII code 180 instead of code 39:
In[2]:=
DSolve[y\.b4\.b4[x] - 2(x + 3)y\.b4[x] - 3y[x] == 0, y[x], x]
Out[2]=
\!\({{y[x] -> 1\/3\ \((\(-6\)\ y\.b4[x] - 2\ x\ y\.b4[x] +
y\.b4\.b4[x])\)}}\)
Regards,
Harald
