	The lower-case "e" is not the same as the constant (approx.
2.7182818 . . . .).  You no doubt wish to use the constant.  To enter
the constant, use either the capital "E" or the keystrokes:
<escape>ee<escape>.

Subject: [mg37514] [mg37474] machine-size problem again?

Dear experts,

I have a trouble in plotting e^x.g
Plot[e^x, {x, 1, 4}]

It keeps telling me:
e^x is not a machine-size real number at x = 1.000000125
e^x is not a machine-size real number at x = 1.1217009747187472
e^x is not a machine-size real number at x = 1.2544263995781209;

Even I have added the modifier "Evaluate".
Plot[Evaluate[e^x], {x, 1, 4}]
The output is the same.

Please help! Thanks.
