Hi David, I hope all is well with you. I noticed that you posted a great question to MG that Jens answered. Part of Jens' response was: "But you can simply load the help notebook into a Mathematica 4.0 and save it. The main consequence of the "feature" is that one has to use the oldest Mathematica version (best Mathematica 3.0) to edit/save Help notebooks." I took this to mean simply open up the notebook created by a newer version and then save it in your older version of Mathematica. I've done this a few times to several notebooks that were announcing that they had been created by a newer version of Mathematica. It worked ! But I have a problem with some additional warning messages that I get every time I load the kernel. They appear in a little box on the bottom left of the screen and read: On::none: Message General::spell not found. On::none: Message General::spell1 not found. DeclarePackage::aldec: Symbol WriteDXF in DeclarePackage[Utilities`DXF`, {PolygonsOnly, WriteDXF}] has already been declared. Now, I have installed a few applications/packages on top of Mathematica like DrawGraphics, TensorCalculus, MathGL3D, MathPNG, some of which add things to the help browser, and some of which were written on Mathematica 4 .1 (I have version 4 on Windows 2000). Also, I have found in the Autoload/Utilities folder a file called DXF.m which appears to be referenced in the warning messages but I don't want to simply remove it as a solution. I would much rather try and understand what the conflict is. Do you have any thoughts as to what might be causing the above error messages and how I could prevent them from occuring? Keep up the great postings! Jonathan mtheory at msn.com
