you're right, and the results satisfies me only partially. I would rather try to "unprotect" the "Power" function and modify it: It seems that the "Power" function decides to display the result in a fractional form if the second argument is numerical. In fact, Power[z, -2 x] Power[z, -Sqrt[2]] Power[z, -Pi] are all diplayed in an exponential form, whereas Power[z, -56789] Power[z, -N[Sqrt[2]]] Power[z, -N[Pi]] are all diplayed in a fractional form. Do you know if it is possible to accés the function?
