Hello everybody,
I'm using Mathematica 4.0 under winNT and from time to time I have a problem
with Mathematica which drives me crazy. I wonder if anybody has experienced the
same problem.
Sometimes, if I write a function and press shift enter Mathematica complains
that there is a syntax error. I can't find one and copy line for line to
a new location until I copied the whole function. If I now press shift
enter it works, although nothing has changed !!!
While this is annoying, today it got worse. I had the same problem and
solved it by copying. But this time saving the file brought back the old
error message :-( That means, after I corrected the problem, saved the
file, exited Mathematica, started it again and loaded the file, Mathematica again
complains about a syntax error.
Does anyone know about the problem and knows a solution ?
Many thanks in advance,
Axel Kowald
