I noticed the end of this thread rather late on coming back, so I may have missed out some contributions. I hope that the following points are not duplicates. Intrusive Nulls: I often find these in the output generated from input pasted from the group. I find that this problem is corrected if the input is pasted into a Text cell which is then converted to an Input cell Parsing Problems I earlier received this from Kaliph Hayes,Technical Support, Wolfram Research, Inc. in reply to a query. The following information is also available from the Technical Support section of our website at the following URL: http://support.wolfram.com/FrontEnds/System/CompoundExpressionFailure.html New features in the Mathematica 4.0 notebook interface make it necessary to place more strict parameters on BoxData arguments in the underlying Cell expression. Because of these new features, Mathematica 3.0 is not guaranteed to correctly display or evaluate all compound expression inputs written in notebooks composed on Mathematica 4.0. You can choose one of the following two suggestions to workaround this problem. 1. Wrap the expression in parentheses This changes the underlying Cell expression to a form that is more compatible with the Mathematica 3.0 notebook interface. In[1]:=( a = 1; b = 3 + a; c = 4 + b ) Out[1]= 8 2. Use the command form for a compound expression, CompoundExpression If you choose CompoundExpression, use a comma to separate the subexpressions. In[1]:= CompoundExpression[ a = 1, b = 3 + a, c = 4 + b ] Out[1]= 8 -- Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting Leicester UK www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565
