But my question (not for you, but for the Mathematica people who might be reading this group to find out what users think of their product) is: Where is this discussed in the Documentation? I have a book 4 inches (100 mm) thick, that I paid for _in_addition_ to paying for Mathematica, and neither it nor the on-line documentatoin even attempts to explain anything like this. If someone asks me what I think of the product, I'd say "Well, if your users have advanced degrees, they mght be able to figure out how to use it. But not ordinary people." Dave Golber
