Dear Group, Consider the following code: {1, 2}.{4, 5} Dot[{1, 2}, {4, 5}] Unprotect[System`Dot]; Remove[System`Dot]; {1, 2}.{4, 5} Dot[{1, 2}, {4, 5}] On my system (Mathematica 5.2) the symbol "Dot" is extensively removed, however the "." operator still works and cannot be suppressed to make a vector product. How should I solve this situation? Furthermore, entering "\[Dot]" does not result in the "." character, as eg. "\[CenterDot]" would do. Is the dot character protected on some higher level?
