Hi,

test[j_Integer?Positive] :=test[j] = k[j] f[j - 1] 
/. f[a_]:>HoldForm[test[a]]

| Hi,
|
| If I define a recursion and hold its form to 
inspect it :
| Clear[test]
| test[j_Integer?Positive] :=
|                              test[j] = k[j] 
HoldForm[ test[j - 1] ]
|
| then This is what happens :
|
|   In[22]:= test[4]
|
| Out[22]:= test[4 - 1] k[4]
|
| But I would like it to be with the variable 
evaluated :
|
| Out[22]:= test[3] k[4]
|
| Whats the trick ???
|
| thanks
| Matt
