Mark, This is easy if you understand the structure of Mathematica expressions. Try evaluating myrule=(a->b) myeqn = Equal@@myrule (or Apply[Equal,myrule]) and you will have turned a rule into an equation. To understand it better, look at FullForm[myrule] FullForm[myeqn] to see that you just had to change the Head of the expression.
