Hi,

what is a "free (unbound)" variable.
a) ?ValueQ
ValueQ[expr] gives True if a value has been defined for expr, and gives 
False \
otherwise.

b) without Hold[] you will never see the variables that have values because 
Mathematica will evaluate the expression until all variables with a value 
are replaced by the values



Regards

  Jens
