Hello All,

$Version: 5.1 for Microsoft Windows (October 25, 2004)

can anybody explain the strange behaviour of the usefull routine 

CleanSlate from the package: Utilities`CleanSlate`?

Consider:

Remove[a,x]

f[]:=Module[{x,a},]

CleanSlate[]

this works fine. If one defines an argument by f[_] this still works. 

However, as soon as I use a named argument,e.g.:

  f[xx_]:=Module[{x,a},]

CleanSlate complains:

Remove::relex: Cannot remove lexical symbol a$ except automatically 

(when a is removed).

Remove::relex: Cannot remove lexical symbol x$ except automatically 

(when x is removed).

Further, if one replaces the one letter variable name a by aa, the 

message about aa is not created. Also no message for: 

f[a_]:=Module[{x},] but we get a message for f[xx_]:=Module[{x},]

Daniel
