Hi Mathematica gurus, Pardon me if I ask a rather basic question about Mathematica 3.0. What does the menu selection Cell->Default Input FormatType->TraditionalForm really do? I am able to input a Mathematica expression in StandardForm and then convert it to TraditionalForm. The kernel can recognise it and process it. I can also convert a Mathematical output expression into TraditionalForm and feed it to the kernel as input. However I am not able to feed an input expression in TraditionalForm from the outset and have it recognised and processed by the kernel. Am I missing something here? Your kind help would be much appreciated. Thanks Chee
