Hello, Unlike previous versions of Mathematica, ClearAll["Global`*"] in Version 6 does not clear definitions and attributes associated with predefined symbols without built-in meanings (CirclePlus, CircleTimes, SmallCircle, etc.); definitions are removed with Remove["Global`*"], but attributes remain. Is this new behavior intentional or a bug? It is not documented. Of course, ClearAll[CirclePlus] does have the desired effect: it removes the user's definitions and attributes for CirclePlus. S.
