Hi Bob,

I try this but it does not realy work fine. I use mathematica version 4.2.
Is there anything else like including a special package? 

In: ComplexExpand[Abs[x + I*y]]
Out: Abs[x + I y] ???

or 

In: ComplexExpand[x/(x+I*y)]
Out: x^2/Abs[x + I y]^2 - I x y/Abs[x + I y]^2 ???

Why you get another output?

Thanks,

Frank
