Hi Group, I might have found a bug in the function Symbolize. Before filling a bug report, I would like to know if other people have found it or can reproduce it, or if this just occur on my heavy-loaded old system. I tried to use the Symbolize function, now provided by the Notation package, to answer another thread and got a kernel crash in return. Here is the sequence of events. Start a new session. Load the Notation package. Notation Palette displayed. Enter x_1 (x ctrl + _ 1). Select x_1 with the mouse. Click on Symbolize[] in the Notation Palette. The infamous Microsoft Windows dialog box asking to send a report to Redmond is displayed. Click on the button send. The report is sent and the Mathematica processes are killed (kernel and front end). This occurs with Mathematica version 6 under Windows XP SP2 with only one instance of the program running (but with version 5.2 still installed on the system. I do not know if this makes any difference). (* Save your work before clicking on Symbolize *) << "Notation`" Subscript[x, 1] Select the above line and click on the button Symbolize in the notation palette. Best regards, Jean-Marc
