Hello MathGroup:

When I execute the following list of expressions (in Mathematica
v.4.2) I expect to get "f'[5]" from the last expression instead
of "3". Is it a bug or something else?

----------------------------
f'[5]
f'[_] = 2;
f'[5]
Remove[Derivative]
f'[5]
f'[_] = 3;
f'[5]
Remove[Derivative]
f'[5]
----------------------------

If Remove[] is replaced by Clear[] the output from the last
expression is "f'[5]" as expected. Would it be the reason to
always use Clear[] rather than Remove[]?

Thank you,
Vadym
