It's a better-safe-than-dead thing, in this case. Generaly, you don't want the test to be evaluated BEFORE the solution gets going (as would be the case with an 'ordinary' ->), but only within the NDSolve code, so we use :> (RuleDelayed). For instance: NDSolve[.....,StoppingTest->(Print[t];False)] would return something like this: t Out[13]:= -InterpolatingFunction- which is not what you want! If you use the same command with a :> instead of ->, you will get all the t's, that are used as intermediate steps, printed and the interpolating function returned as desired. Orestis
