I am using Jason Harris's (wonderful) Notation package in a Mathematica application. It works well except for a beep on loading. "Why the Beep?..." tells me "Mathematica could not understand the expression you tried to evaluate. It left the insertion bar at the place where it got confused." The insertion bar is left between the B and the e of BeginPackage. I have included some code below which reproduces the problem. Because it's an application, I want neither the Notation palette to load, nor the Style Sheet to be updated. Hence the first two (important) lines. I emphasise that the application still seems to work correctly. I am concerned though, that the beep and "Why the Beep?..." message may disconcert any eventual users of the application. So I would like to avoid them. For those who haven't come across the Notation package, I highly recommend looking at it. I would love to see it mainstreamed to the kernel. Thanks John __________________________________________ Utilities`Notation`AutoLoadNotationPalette=False; Utilities`Notation`AutoUpdateNotationStyleSheet=False; BeginPackage["MyPackage`","Utilities`Notation`"]; MyFunction::usage="MyFunction[x] squares x."; Begin["`Private`"]; MyFunction[x_]:=x^2; End[]; EndPackage[]; __________________________________________ John Browne jbrowne at swin.edu.au
