John,

What are the Mac OSX 6.5 keyboard secrets to unlock Inline Free-form input to the Mathematica 8 Kernel and Wolfram|Alpha?

I can use the Mathematica 8 "Insert>Inline Free-form" Menu Item to get the kernel to respond properly but the kernel only responds to CTRL+= and not = from the keyboard for the same function..

There is no response at all to == on a new line from Wolfram|Alpha nor CTRL+== and it cannot be accessed through the Mathematica 8 Insert Menu. (I hope that could be changed)!

I can run the access to W|A programmatically OK from examples in the documentation.

I guess it is an installation bug. I have been waiting for two days for a response from Technical Support, I guess they are inundated with upgrade enquiries. :-)


Cheers .... Syd
