Hello Chris.

I have a question regarding your code.

Consider for example the thread with title
Showing that ArcSinh[2]/ArcCsch[2] is 3
from here:
http://groups.google.gr/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/
thread/e3a54d0fff7b596f/040152a96625a9df?hl=el#040152a96625a9df

Dana DeLouis' answer was

equ = TrigToExp[ArcSinh[2]/ArcCsch[2]];
avoid = Count[{#1}, _ArcSinh | _ArcCsch | _Log,
     Infinity] & ;
FullSimplify[equ, ComplexityFunction -> avoid]
3

So let use your code in order to get a list of
symbols called from the System` context during the simplification
process.

Quit;

equ = TrigToExp[ArcSinh[2]/ArcCsch[2]];
avoid = Count[{#1}, _ArcSinh | _ArcCsch | _Log,
Infinity] & ;

lst1 = Block[{$Output = {OpenWrite["C:\\msgStream.m"]}},
TracePrint[FullSimplify[equ, ComplexityFunction -> avoid],
      TraceInternal -> True]; Close /@ $Output];
Thread[Union[Cases[ReadList["C:\\msgStream.m",
HoldComplete[Expression]],
    symb_Symbol /; AtomQ[Unevaluated[symb]] &&
Context[Unevaluated[symb]] === "System`" :> HoldComplete[symb], {0,
Infinity},
    Heads -> True]], HoldComplete]

Here we use FullSimplify with the default settings

Developer`ClearCache []

lst2 = Block[{$Output = {OpenWrite["C:\\msgStream.m"]}},
TracePrint[FullSimplify[equ], TraceInternal -> True];
     Close /@ $Output];
Thread[Union[Cases[ReadList["C:\\msgStream.m",
HoldComplete[Expression]],
    symb_Symbol /; AtomQ[Unevaluated[symb]] &&
Context[Unevaluated[symb]] === "System`" :> HoldComplete[symb], {0,
Infinity},
    Heads -> True]], HoldComplete]

How can someone "use" Complement, Union, Intersection in lst1, lst2 in
order to see e.g. symbols called
during both processes?

Best Regards
Dimitris
